Abstract:
A tandem rotor servo motor assembly is provided comprising a first phase element positioned on a shaft, the first phase element having a first rotor in communication with the shaft and surrounded by a stator carrying four magnetic poles, each of said poles exerting a magnetic force when said poles are electrically charged. A second phase element is positioned on the shaft a first distance from the first phase element, the second phase element having a second rotor in communication with the shaft and surrounded by a stator carrying four magnetic poles, each of said poles exerting a magnetic force when said poles are electrically charged. A third phase element is positioned on the shaft a second distance from the second phase element, the third phase element having a third rotor in communication with the shaft and surrounded by a stator carrying four magnetic poles, each of said poles exerting a magnetic force when said poles are electrically charged. The second rotor is offset about the shaft from the first rotor by sixty degrees of rotation and the third rotor being offset about the shaft from the first rotor by one hundred and twenty degrees of rotation.
