Abstract
A phase rotary disk motor switching module employs anchor notches located on the peripheral rim of a rotary disk mounted on a motor to couple with a retaining element to enable the rotary disk to rotate in only one direction and define a plurality of phases for the rotary disk. Every phase has a driven gear coupled with the motor for transmitting output power. Motor power may be switched to a plurality of phases of output positions to maximize utilization of a single motor.
