Abstract
A multi-phase outer-type permanent magnet stepping motor including a rotor constituted by a cylindrical permanent magnet assembly in which N (north) and S (south) poles are magnetized alternately on an inner circumferential surface of the rotor. Stator cores respectively having pole teeth are disposed in opposition to the N or S poles of the rotor through a predetermined gap. Further, excitation coils are wound in the stator cores for magnetizing the stator cores to thereby rotate the rotor such that, when a number of the stator cores is 3 and the magnetization pitch of the permanent magnet assembly is P, pole teeth of the stator cores are arranged so that the pole teeth of one stator core is shifted by an angle of 2P/3 from the pole teeth of an adjacent stator core.
