Abstract
Abstract Relating to a stepping motor to be used for paper feedings or type head movements in office automation apparatus such as printers or typewriters. A stator (1) is constituted by moulding stator yokes (2), (3), (4), and (5) monolithically by resin with using their inner radius as their reference, and one side of a rotary shaft (11a) of a rotor (11) is supported by a bearing (12a) of a bearing holder member (1a) which is provided on the one-side end plane of a cylinder member of sad stator (1), and at the same time, a bracket (14) holding a bearing (12b) supporting one side of the rotary shaft (11a) of the rotor (11) is inserted into an opening side inner part of said cylinder member. By the above constitution, centering of the rotary shaft can be carried out easily and the gap between the rotor and the inner radius of the stator can be maintained also easily, then as a result of it, low-cost and high-quality stepping motors can be offered.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
267 words
A stepping motor comprising: a rotor which includes a columnar- or cylindricalshaped permanent magnet magnetized in multiple poles on its periphery and a rotary shaft on its center, a pair of first stator yokes having an inner radius that is slightly larger than an outer radius of said rotor and having plural pole teeth with uniform intervals in the axial direction and arranged so that a pair of said pole teeth are placed alternately and on a same periphery, a pair of second stator yoke having an inner radius that is slightly larger than the outer radius of said rotor and having plural pole teeth with uniform intervals in the axial direction and arranged so that a pair of said pole teeth are placed alternately and on a same periphery and are disposed back to back on a same axis of said first stator yokes with a rotation of stepping angle, a cylindrical housing monlithically resin-moulded together with said first yokes and said second yokes, a bearing holder member on one side end plane of said cylindrical housing and provided at its center with a bearing for rotatably holding said rotary shaft, a coil bobbin member formed on an outer radius part of said cylindrical housing, a stator coil winding wound on said coil bobbin, a bracket which is inserted in an inner radius part of an open side of said cylindrical housing and is provided with a bearing for rotatably holding said rotor shaft, and a frame of cup shape in which said stator is inserted and which combines said bearing holding member with said bracket.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
