Torquer Motors?

06/26/2008 5:42 PM

Anybody know where I can find small torquer motors? Are there torquer motors that are close to the diameter of a quarter? I am trying to look for motors which the stator rotates about the rotor and the wire leads attached to the fixed rotor.

I was a but struck by your description as having a rotary stator and a static rotor, and in fact Google did not fetch much.

On the other hand, external rotor motor did pretty good. Most are BLDC for hobby.

Hope this helps.

By definition, the part of a motor that rotates is the rotor, and the part of a motor that is stationary is the stator.

The rotor may be inside the stator (the common configuration for ordinary AC and DC motors), or it may be on the outside (less common, but frequently used on pancake shaped motors, as in floppy disk drives, Hard Drives, and in light duty printers). The latter are usually multiple-pole (anywhere from 6 to 200 or more poles), commonly brushless DC or stepper motors.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a 'torquer', but the spin motor in a 2.5" laptop hard drive I just looked at is just under the diameter of a quarter. The disk has very little friction and low mass, so the motor does not need a lot of torque.

absolutley nothing wrong with the middle name. there was a well known locksmith supply company up somewhere in canada a few years back that was called jovan distributing, the man who ran it had some connections with american lock and safe makers.

i thought how could anything as unique a name like that exist anywhere else in the world.
