Abstract
A statoron whose outer circumference a plurality of magnetic polesare arranged is mounted on a substrate, and a rotoris rotatably disposed around the stator. The inner circumferential face of the rotor is provided with a magnetmagnetized to have alternately opposite polarities in a direction opposing the stator, and magnetized to have alternately opposite polarities in a direction opposing the substrate. The outer circumferential ends of the magnetic poles of the stator are provided with a first extended portionthat extends from a magnetic pole baseto the substrate side, and a second extended portionthat extends from the magnetic pole base to a side opposite the substrate side. A face of the substrate opposing the rotor is provided with a FG patternoutside the outer circumferential face of the stator such that the FG pattern opposes the magnet. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the precision in detecting the rotational speed by reducing noise superimposed on the FG signal, while securing a high driving efficiency.
