Stepping motor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stepping motor. The stepping motor includes a rotor having a cylindrical magnet with a plurality of N-S poles being radially magnetized thereto and a shaft having one end coupled to the center of the magnet and rotationally supported by bearings; at least one coil wound into the shape of a ring at axial sides of the magnet with air gaps; and a stator shaped as a cylinder with a shaft hole in the center for receiving the coil, the stator having an outer yoke which is arranged concentric with the magnet and has an outer circumferential edge extendedly branched at the same interval to form first pole teeth which are opposedly arranged on the outer circumferential face of the magnet with an air gap therefrom, and an inner yoke with one end of smaller diameter being inserted into the inner circumferential face of the coil and the other end of larger diameter extendedly branched while covering the side of the coil to form second pole teeth which are alternately arranged with the first pole teeth.
