Abstract

A claw-pole PM stepping motor includes a module that is formed in such a manner that a first driving unit and a second driving unit are symmetrically arranged with respect to a first claw-pole and a second claw-pole each oppositely disposed at a main yoke member internally disposed to substantially divide an inside of a housing, an inner portion of which is rotatably inserted and supported by a rotary shaft, and the first driving unit and the second driving unit have magnet rotors coaxially arranged to generate electromagnetic force; sub-yoke members; and coil bobbins. The claw-pole PM stepping motor is exempted from a structure where coil bobbins are concentrically arranged at a periphery of magnet rotors, and instead the coil bobbins are coaxially arranged and shifted from each other from the corresponding magnet rotors, such that a miniaturized motor with a reduced outer diameter can be embodied.
