An electric miniature motor having a stator of magnetic soft material and a permanent magnet rotor. The stator has a low electrical conductivity at least in the direction of the rotor shaft to dampen eddy currents in the stator material caused by rotation of the rotor. The magnetizable material of the stator is composed of ring-shaped elements with two sections having their respective diameters so that the elements may be joined co-axially to a tubular stator. This provides the same eddy current damping properties as with a stator composed of segments, but the stator is much cheaper. The coils are formed as flat coils on a flexible foil which are arranged along the internal side of the stator.

Electrical miniature motor

A contact device consisting of a helical spring which is adapted from SMD mounting, and which is formed with a base portion adapted to be positioned on and attached to a contact face by soldering or gluing, and with a top portion adapted for handling with a tool preferably associated with an SMD apparatus. This provides the possibility of achieving a generally better and less expensive contacting between components, such as acoustic transducers, batteries or the like and printed circuit boards by means of simple features. Constructing the contact device as a screw or helical spring provides a great safeguard against transfer of laterally directed forces or moments from the contact face which destroy the contact face and/or the solder connection with the printed circuit. A tool for handling the contact device consists of a preferably vacuum-driven mounting pick-up with a central control mandrel which fits internally in the top portion of the contact device, and which has an enclosing, ring-shaped recess adapted to the outer shape of the top portion of the contact device.
