There is provided a stepping motor of low vibration realized by reducing cogging with a simple structure while maintaining the performances such as torque. A stepping motor of the invention is structured such that a stator unit 18 is composed of a pair of stator sub-assemblies 5, 5 attached to each other in a back to back manner, each stator sub-assembly having a plurality of pole teeth 13 formed at its inner circumference and housing a coil inside thereof, a rotor unit 19 is rotatably disposed ...

A stepping motor includes a stator whose outer diameter is 8 mm or less and a rotor having a magnet disposed opposing to the stator. The stator has a core with pole teeth formed therein. The ratio between the thickness of the pole teeth formed in the core in the radial direction on the stator side and an outer diameter of the magnet on the rotor side, in other words, the quotient derived by dividing the thickness of the pole teeth by the outer diameter of the magnet, is set in a range between 0....

A stepping motor has a cylindrical case that houses a motor stator and a sensor stator. The motor stator and the sensor stator are located at the opposing ends of the case. A motor rotor and a sensor rotor are mounted on a shaft and face the motor stator and the sensor stator, respectively. The sensor rotor and the sensor stator together form a rotational position sensor. The incorporation of the rotational position sensor in the case reduces demand for installation space. The gap of approximate...

A stepping motor 10 comprises a rotor 3 of a permanent magnet 2 having multiple poles magnetized in the circumferential direction, and multiple stator yokes 5a and 5b disposed on the outer periphery of this rotor 3 to form a multiple-phase field magnet of multiple phases. Detent torque of the stepping motor is reduced either by reducing a cross-sectional area of a portion, which leads to a magnetic pole surface 51a of the stator yoke, to be less than an area of the magnetic pole surface 51a, or ...

A stepping staff is disclosed which comprises a plurality of sections coupled together in telescoping manner. A sighting target is arranged on the uppermost section. The sections have a plurality of sets of detents with which collars are engaged. The collars enable the sections to be rotated relative to one another to bring a corresponding set of detents on the sections into alignment with one another. The collars have engaging members which locate in detents in the set of detents and enable the...

An intermittent or stepping drive has a first rotatable member (20), which is driven by a driving shaft (12), in engaging relationship with a second rotatable member (30) from which a driven shaft (22) is driven whereby a continuous rotation of the first rotatable member (20) is converted into an intermittent rotation of the second rotatable member (30). One of the two rotatable members (20,30) is connected to the associated shaft (12,22) by a clutch (40) which is associated with a retaining mem...

A stepping motor of the homopolar design with a step angle of 3.6.degree. and having a generally cubic form is disclosed. The motor includes a generally square, single-section laminated stator which has only four stator poles extending radially inwardly from the middle regions of the straight sides, and a concentric rotor secured to a shaft journaled in a pair of bearing bells fixed to the stator at the opposite faces thereof and having the same generally square configuration. The rotor includes...

A stepping motor includes a stator and a permanent-magnet rotor having a rotor axis. The stator is a stator blade made of soft magnetic materials whose center position is a rotor hole accommodating the rotor. Coils are provided on two sides of the stator blade. Within the stator blade are located three narrow grooves, each of which is disposed at an angle of 120.degree. to one another along a radial direction of the rotor. Two ends of the narrow grooves are connected with the stator blade, and w...

To facilitate manufacture of casings of a stepping motor and simultaneously to enhance the performance thereof, a rotor (5) is mounted on a rotary shaft (1), the rotor (5) is supported to the casings (6) and (7) by pressing a metal plate, a bush (13) made of non-magnetic material is retained to at least one of the casings (6) and (7), and an inner circumferential portion of a stator core (10) provided between the casings (6) and (7) is supported by the bush (13). Since a gap between the outer ci...

The stepping conveyor comprises a walking beam which carries a plurality of trolley pushers or impellers adapted to advance, in one direction and in step by step fashion, a succession of trolleys that are movable along an overhead trolley rail; the walking beam incorporating structural improvements that minimize the cost of manufacture, of installation, and operation, and ensure a high degree of stability and resistance to wear in the walking beam system.
