Electromagnetic motor of the finite rotational type

摘要

An electromagnetic motor of the finite rotational type has an improved rotor-returning mechanism for exerting a magnetic force to return its rotor to the initial angular position in a non-excited condition. The rotor-returning mechanism is comprised of a permanent magnet fixedly mounted on a stator and a permanent magnet mounted around the rotor. The permanent magnets are arranged such that, a magnetic attractive force generated between the permanent magnets functions to return the rotor to the initial angular position. The rotor-returning mechanism can be constitued by first and second ring-shaped permanent magnets mounted on the rotor. The N and S poles of the first magnet are offset in a the circumferential direction from those of the second magnet so as to generate a magnetic torque for returning the rotor to the initial angular position.
