Abstract
Abstract A miniature motor with a revolution-detecting generator, the motor having a stator formed by a permanent magnet on the motor housing and a rotor consisting of a winding on a core. Electric current is fed to the rotor winding via current feeding brushes and a commutator. A revolution-detecting generator comprising a frequency-detecting coil for receiving changes of magnet flux made by teeth on stator and rotor components generates an induced voltage proportional to the revolution of the rotor, in which a noise-suppressing coil wound in a lapped state with the frequency-detecting coil is provided. The noise-suppressing coil and the frequency-detecting coil are connected with each other in a reverse phase, and the noise-suppressing coil is connected in parallel with the frequency-detecting coil via a high-pass filter connected in series.
