Abstract

A stepping motor includes a rotor having a cylindrical permanent magnet, ring-shaped first and second yoke units that are arranged so as to be mutually stacked along an axis of the rotor, and a pair of lid. Each of the first and second yoke units includes a ring-shaped exciting coil, an outer yoke that includes an outer cylindrical section that accommodates therein the exciting coil, a back face section, and magnetic pole teeth, and an inner yoke that is combined with the outer yoke and includes a ring-shaped ring section formed around the axis, and magnetic pole teeth that are arranged at fixed intervals while alternating at equal intervals in a noncontacting state with respect to the magnetic pole teeth of the outer yoke. The first and second yoke units are stacked while the back face sections thereof are in a mutual surface contact state.
