Abstract
A step motor comprising magnetic stationary members (1,11) containing a plurality of series of magnetic poles (1a, 1b, . . . 11a, 11b, . . . ) arranged at a predetermined regular pitch; a magnetic movable member (4) containing a plurality of series of magnetic poles (4a, 4b, . . . 41a, 41b . . . ) arranged at a predetermined regular pitch different from the magnetic poles series (1a, 1b, . . . 11a, 11b, . . . ), each magnetic pole series (4a, 4b, . . . , 41a, 41b,) having a magnetic surface opposing the magnetic surface of each of the pole series (1a, 1b, . . . , 11a, 11b, . . . ) through a gap; electric coils (2a, 2b . . . ) wound so as to energize the magnetic pole series and generating a first flux; a permanent magnet (5) containing a first magnetic pole face fixed to either the magnetic stationary member (1,11) or the magnetic movable member (4) and a second magnetic pole face which is arranged opposite to the magnetic stationary member (1,11) or the magnetic movable meber (4) through the gap and generating a second flux; and means (6,7) for mechanically displacing the magnetic movable member (4) with respect to the magnetic stationary members (1,11), characterized in that said electric coils (2a,2b, . . . ) are so wound as to energize one magnetic pole, which belongs to one of groups each which includes a predetermined number of poles classified from the magnetic poles (1a, 1b, . . . 11a, 11b, . . . 4a,4b, . . . 41a, 41b, . . . ), generate the first flux in the same direction of the second flux, energize the other magnetic poles and generate the first flux in the counter direction of the second flux and energize the all electric coils (2a, 2b, . . . ) simultaneously and the permanent magnet (5) is so arranged that the first flux generated by the coils do not flow through the permanent magnet (5).
