Abstract

The invention relates to an electronically commutated motor (1) comprising P phases and N pairs of poles, in which a circular multipole encoder (12) is associated with the rotating ring (6a) of an anti-friction bearing (6), said encoder (12) comprising a main multipole track (12a) and a multipole commutation track (12b) comprising 2*P*N singularities (12b1-12b6) equidistributed angularly and a control device comprising a fixed sensor (15) capable of delivering square digital signals A, B in quadrature and a digital signal C in the form of 2*P*N pulses per revolution of the encoder (12), a circuit for commutating (20) the currents in the phase windings of the motor (1) and a control circuit (21) for the commutation circuit (20).
