Abstract
Abstract A brushless motor actuated by a predetermined frequency and driven at constant speed with less wow and flutter component in accordance with a pulse signal of the frequency applied. The motor has a rotor enclosed in a stator, the latter having driving windings. The rotor includes a rotor shaft and a flywheel connected to the shaft. The flywheel is housed in a motor case.
