Abstract
A pneumatic bearing motor with a pneumatic bearing capable of being downsized without lowering the mechanical rigidity thereof. A stator of the pneumatic bearing motor comprises a slot-less stator core and winding which is formed by winding a wire on the stator core into a toroidal shape in a maimer of regular winding. Since the stator does not have projections as exist in conventional stators, it is not necessary to form counterbores in a housing and make wall thickness of the housing large for bearing stress concentration caused by the counterbores. Thus, it is possible to reduce the wall thickness of the housing of the motor and downsize the motor.
