Patent attributes
A motor with a permanent magnet is provided. A motor has a rotor and an annular drive magnet surrounding the rotor. The drive magnet includes a plurality of magnetized areas having an entire circumference divided into a multiple of at equiangular intervals and includes a plurality of divided areas having an entire circumference divided into the same number as the number of magnetized areas at equiangular intervals. The two adjacent magnetized areas have different polarities. In an inner circumferential surface of each divided area in the drive magnet, a distance D from a rotation center line of the rotor becomes longer from a center in a circumferential direction toward both ends of the area. A magnetization polarization line of the two adjacent magnetized areas deviates from a boundary between the two adjacent divided areas in the circumferential direction.
