Abstract
Abstract A direct-current motor includes a rotatable shaft, a core mounted on the rotatable shaft and supporting windings disposed around the core, the core having winding-free portions, a first drive magnet disposed in radially confronting relation to the winding-free portions with an air gap, and magnetized substantially perpendicularly to the rotatable shaft, and a second drive magnet disposed in axially confronting relation to the winding-free portions with an air gap, and magnetized substantially axially of the rotatable shaft.
