Patent ID: 8446121

Claim:
An actuator motor, comprising: a rotor comprising a rotor shaft and a plurality of contiguous magnets attached to a circumference of the rotor shaft and configured according to an optimized array that produces a plurality of rotor magnetic fields having augmented flux densities exterior to the rotor and diminished flux densities within an interior of the rotor; and a stator comprising a stator core aperture sized for receiving the rotor, a plurality of stator windings configured to create one or more stator magnetic fields that when introduced to the plurality of rotor magnetic fields, induces a torque on the rotor shaft, and a plurality of opposing stator teeth pairs, each of the opposing stator teeth pairs comprising a first stator tooth having a first winding to create a first coil, and a second stator tooth positioned on an opposite side of the stator core aperture from the first stator tooth and having a second winding to create a second coil, wherein the first coil and the second coil are electrically connected in series, and wherein the plurality of opposing stator teeth pairs correspond with separate phases of electrical current.
