Abstract:
A brushless motor includes an annular stator and a rotor which has a plurality of permanent magnets alternately arranged in circumferential direction on the rotor to form poles and which is disposed within the stator to be rotatable with respect to the stator. The stator includes a cylindrical yoke and a plurality of teeth which are same in size one another, are connected to the yoke to extend therefrom toward the rotor, and are disposed at even interval in the circumferential direction. Width of each of the teeth in the circumferential direction is set to be greater than or at a vicinity of the value which is obtained by dividing outer diameter of the rotor by the number of the teeth and multiplying the result of dividing by π/2.
Abstract:
A stator of an electric motor includes a stator core including an annular yoke. The stator core includes a plurality of teeth formed on, for example, an inner periphery of the yoke and has a coil wound on each of the teeth. Each of the teeth includes first and second end portions opposed to each other in a radial direction of the stator core. The first end portion is connected to the yoke. The second end portion is formed with an axially extending projection extending in an axial direction of the stator core. A coil receiving groove is defined between the axially extending projection and the yoke. The axially extending projection includes a distal end portion in the axial direction, and a root portion adjoining a bottom of the coil receiving groove. In the radial direction, a thickness of the root portion is greater than a thickness of the distal end portion.
