Abstract
A stepping motor includes (a) a rotor being driven by exciting a driving coil, (b) a position detector including a magnetic flux generator for outputting a signal in the same phase as a polarity position of a magnet mounted to the rotor and a magnetic sensor receiving magnetic force from the magnetic flux generator, (c) a controller for controlling the stepping motor responsive to a position detection signal supplied from the position detector, (d) a board on which the magnetic sensor and the controller are mounted, and (e) a sensor cover for positioning the magnetic sensor, dissipating heat of the controller and for covering at least a part of the position detector and the controller. This structure allows the controller and the magnetic sensor to avoid the heat generated by the stepping motor. This structure also allows to assemble a motor sub-assembly including the driving coil, the rotor and the magnetic flux generator independently of and separately from a sensor sub-assembly including the board and the sensor cover. Thus the productivity increases and material loss decreases.
