A stepping motor characterized by the provision of an anisotropic resin magnet rotor which is the rotor of the motor and comprises an anisotropic resin magnet and which has recesses formed at the centers of the magnetic poles thereof and in which the wave form of the magnetic force is one of a two-head wave form and a trapezoidal wave form in the range of 0.1-0.2 of the air gap between the rotor and stator teeth during the use of the motor.

A stepping motor comprising a rotor having magnetic poles on the peripheral surface thereof at a predetermined pitch, first and second stator yoke units each having pole teeth at the predetermined pitch and disposed with deviation of 1/4 pitch therebetween relative to the rotor, and a coil for exciting the first and second stator yoke units, characterized by means for adjusting the phase deviation between the first and second stator yoke units.

A forward and rearward indexible stepping mechanism, for instance for a multi-position switch, which is arranged within a housing and has a one-piece drive which can be brought into engagement with a rotatably arranged pinion by means of a linear work movement. At the drive there is provided a flexible latching element which connects two plungers in a bridge-like fashion, so that a latching cam arrangement formed at the latching element engages at the pinion.

A stepping gear includes an output member attached to a wheel which is provided with a number of rollers on both faces thereof. In driving contact with these rollers is a pair of cam members having contours which allow for driving in the forward direction as well as a standstill or dwell phase. In addition, reverse movement of the wheel is made possible by providing an undercut in one of the cams coupled with a superelevation on the other of the two cams. Form locking engagement between the cams...

An electric motor where the stator is positioned between motor end caps. The stator comprises a pair of housings that contain coil windings and one of the housings has a plurality of axially extending tabs bent over the other housing to secure the housings from axial separation. The bent over portion of a tab is compressed against a wall of an end cap when the stator is assembled between the end caps of the motor and is bendable to accommodate variations in axial dimensions of the motor. One of ...

A stepping motor having a first and a coaxially disposed second annular stator section, which stator sections are axially spaced by a coaxially disposed permanent-magnetic ring. Each stator section terminates on the inner side in two coaxially disposed annular systems of teeth. The systems of teeth of each stator section have been mutually shifted nominally by 1/2 tooth pitch relative to the rotor toothing and the systems of teeth situated on the outer side relative to the permanent-magnetic rin...

A single phase bipolar stepping motor is described wherein the rotor is cble of bidirectional rotation. The rotor is so dimensioned that a combination of its moment of inertia J, its volume V and the number of pole pairs p satisfy the relation J/(V.multidot.p.sup.1,4).gtoreq.5.multidot.10.sup.-3 kg/m. Such a rotor will reliably step in the sense opposite to the preferred sense when the motor winding receives a first pulse of short duration followed by a second pulse of longer duration the polari...

A stepping device supported on two legs capable of walking or stepping up and down steps. The device has a pair of legs rotatably mounted to and suspended vertically from spaced points on a link. A pendulum is rotatably mounted to the link and suspended vertically from a central axis on the link between the leg mounting points. Means is provided for swinging the pendulum from the vertical thereby increasing the lever arm from the center of gravity of the pendulum to the mounting point of the leg...

A stepping motor includes a rotary shaft, a rotor magnetized in an axial direction thereof and having a plurality of magnetic poles arranged in a circumferential direction thereof with different poles in alternation, inner yokes each having a plurality of projections and depressions, outer yokes each having a plurality of projections and depressions which are separated from and oppose the depressions and projections of the corresponding inner yoke in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction,...

This invention relates to a pneumatically actuated stepping valve for an automatic control of inlets and outlets for a pneumatic fluid. Each stepping movement is performed in response to a feedback signal indicating that an operation controlled by the valve has been completed. A distributing disc is provided for selecting consecutive pairs of ports consisting of an inlet port and an outlet port each. The stepping valve consists mainly of plastic parts, which contain numerous bores and passages a...
