In the three-phase hybrid type stepping motor according to the present invention, the small stator teeth formed on the tip end of the stator pole are classified to sets of two or three small teeth, the third harmonic vector sum of the permeances of the small teeth in each set is determine to substantially zero, and the third, fifth and sixth harmonic vector sum of the permeances of the small teeth of the sets is determine to substantially zero, under the consideration that the permeances between the small teeth of the stator magnetic pole and the rotor are varied according to the rotation of the rotor and that the permeances are varied regularly.
