Abstract:
A capstan motor for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:a stator including a coil disposed on an outer peripheral direction thereof; a rotor having a magnet to correspond to the coil and rotated by an electromagnetic interaction between the coil and the magnet; and a capstan shaft rotated integrally with the rotor as fixed on the rotor and installed so that one side of the capstan shaft is cohered with a pinch roller taking a tape therebetween to drive the tape with the pinch roller, wherein the magnet has a corresponding surface facing the coil formed to be slanted at a predetermined angle to apply magnetic force of the magnet eccentrically for an electromagnetic force generated on the coil so that a predetermined thrust can be applied to the capstan shaft toward one direction between upper and lower directions of the shaft direction.
