Motor

Abstract

Provided is a motor having an increased output. The motor includes: an armature including a plurality of non-wound teeth and a plurality of wound teeth having windings wound thereon, the teeth being circumferentially alternately arranged about an axis; and a field magnet including a plurality of magnets arranged side by side circumferentially so as to oppose one of an inner or an outer periphery of the armature, the field magnet being supported about the axis so as to be rotatable relative to the armature. The field magnet is provided with rotating force by sequentially switching a magnetic flux that flows through the non-wound teeth and the wound teeth due to energization of the windings of the armature. The wound teeth include a proximal-end portion having a circumferential width greater than a circumferential width of a proximal-end portion of the non-wound teeth.
