ABSTRACT:
A brushless DC motor of the kind that includes a relatively large rotor permanent magnet magnetized radially in segments around its circumference to provide alternate segments oppositely magnetized has a stator magnetic structure with two dissimilar pole pieces in flux conducting relation to a pair of windings. A first of the pole pieces presents a face to the outer surface of the annular magnet across an air gap. A second pole piece, which may be somewhat further from the outer surface of the annular magnet, at the opposite end of the windings, presents only a narrow edge surface facing generally in the direction of the magnet. The modified pole piece is L-shaped or U-shaped, having one or two legs respectively, projecting from the coil support structure generally circumferentially with respect to the magnet. The legs taper towards their ends more remote from the coil support structure and form broader upper and lower surfaces more nearly perpendicular the axis of magnet rotation than the narrow edge surface or surfaces facing the magnet across the air gap.
