Abstract:
A stepper motor comprising: a stator and a rotor; a plurality of N greater than two electromagnets mounted to the stator or to the rotor, each of the electromagnets comprising a core having at least one contact surface, wherein the at least one contact surface of any of the cores is rotatable about a same first axis of rotation with a same first radius of rotation into substantial congruence with at least a portion of the at least one contact surface of any other of the electromagnet cores; and a coupling of the rotor to the stator configured to enable rotation of the rotor and contact of the stator and rotor along at least one contact surface during operation of the motor.

Claim (Index 17):
The stepper motor according to  claim 16  and comprising a controller operable to energize the electromagnets to cause the rotor to rotate from a first motor state of the stepper motor in which the stator and rotor are in contact along a contact surface of a core of a single first electromagnet mounted to the stator or rotor and a matching surface region of the rotor or stator respectively to a second motor state in which the stator and rotor are in contact along single contact surface of a core of a single second rotationally adjacent electromagnet and a matching surface region of the rotor or stator respectively.
