FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal cross sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 showing the armature; and FIGURE 3 is a p~ane view with portions removed showing the printed circuit conductive elements of the two layers.
Referring to Fig. 1, the D.C. motor 10 is shown including four flat permanent magnets 12, 14, 16, and 18 for generating a magnetic field B. The magnets 12, 14, 16, and 18 are sandwiched between si~e plates 17 and 19, which serve as return paths for the magnetic flux. The four flat permanent magnets 12, 14, 16, and 18 are solid and generally rectangular in shape.
A cylindrical armature 20 is centrally arranged between ; spaced pairs of magnets 12 and 14, and 16 and 18, respectively, located on opposite sides of the armature 20. As seen in Fig. 2, the armature 20 includes a cylindrical core 22, of low reluctance material, preferably iron, which is concentrically mounted on a steel output shaft 24. The iron core 22 is formed in a laminated or segmented structure to reduce hysteresis losses. Preferably,-the core 22 includes a stack of stamped washers 23, typically each washer 23 is 12 mils in thickness. Each washer 23 ii8 electrically insulated from adjacent washers 23, e.g., by a film of varnish or an oxide film.
Referring also to Figs. 2 and 3, the cylindrical Z6 armature 20 also includes two layers 26 and 28 of spaced printed 1~39787 circuit conductiVe elements 30 and 32 bonded to insulating sheets - 34 and 36. Advantageously, in forming the layers 26 and 28, conductive sheets are bonded to insulating sheets and the indivi-dualconductive elements 30 and 32 are formed with the use of printed circuit techniques, e.g., etching.
With specific reference to Fig. 3, the bottom layer 26 includes 49 conductive elements 30 and has a central or inter-mediate section 38, in which the individual conductive elements 30 are preferably skewed a maximum of about 3~, and crossover end sections 40 and 42. The top layer 28 also includes 49 conductive elements 32, and has a central or intermediate section 44, in which the individual conductive elements 32 are preferably skewed a maximum of about 3, and crossover end sections 46 and 48. As a result of skewing, the conductive elements 30 and 32 in the :- central sections 38 and 44 of the layers 26 and 28 are oriented at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft 24. The crossover end sections 40 and 42, and 46 and 48 provide the proper circumferential spacing for interconnection of the conductive elements 30 and 32 of the layers 26 and 28.
In forming the armature 20, the top layer 28 is posi-tioned over the bottom layer 26 so that the skew of the conductive elements 32, including crossover end sections 46 and 48, of the top layer 28 is opposite to that of the conductive elements 30, including crossover end sections 40 and 42 of the bottom layer 26, see Fig. 3. Ske~ing of the conductive elements 30 and 32 strengthens the cylindrical armature 20 and reduces the resistance resulting from interconnecting the crossover sections of the layers ::

1~3g787 The conductive eIements 30 and 32 are formed by etching thin copper sheets, prefera~ly about 3 mils ~o about 5 mils in thickness which are bonded, e.g., by epoxy, to fiberglass insu-lating layers 34 a~d 36. Advantageously, the conductive elements 32 of the top layer 28 may have a thickness of ahout 5 mils and the conductive elements 30 of the bottom layer about 3 mils. The two layers 26 and 28 are blanked to the outline of the conductQr pattern and then bonded together, e,g., with epoxy, and formed into a cylinder of proper dimensions on a mandrel.
An outer layer or sheath 50 of insulating material, such as fiberglass thread, may be bonded, e.g. with epoxy, to the outer layer 28 to further reinforce the cylindrical shape of the armature 20. A central of intermediate portion 52 of the outer sheath S0 is removed to provide a gap for exposing the conductive elements 32 of the central section 44 of the top layer 28.
The crossover end sections 40 and 42, and 46 and 48, of layers 26 and 28, respectively, are interconnected, e.g., by soldering or welding. The completed outer armature tube 4g is xemoved from the mandrel and bonded to the ixon core 22, e.g., with epo~y.
In forming the completed motor 10, a pair of bea~in~
spacers 54 and 56 are concentrically mounted on the shaft 24 adjacent the ends of the iron core 22. Bearings 58 and 60 are mounted on the shaft 24 adjacent the bearing spacers 54 and 56, respectively. A ring washer 62 having a diameter equal to 1:he 27 dia~eter of the iron core 22 is arranged between bearing spacer .

A spring washer 64 is positioned on the side opposite to the ring washer 62 in contact with the outer race of bearing 58, and flat washers 68 and 70 are positioned between the inner races 72 and 74 of bearings 58 and 60 and the ring washer 62 and bearing spacer 56, respectively. The bearings 58 and 60 have their inner races 72 and 74 bonded to the output shaft 24 and their outer races 75 and 76 bonded to end plates 78 and 80.
The end plates 78 and 80, which are preferably made of aluminum, are mechanically coupled to the side plates 17 and 19, e.g., with screws (not shown) to hold the motor 10 in an assembled condition. The end plates 78 and 80 include axially aligned apertures 82 and 84 which receive the ends of output shaft 24. Enlarged recesses 86 and 88 in the shape of stepped cylinders are arranged in the end plates 78 and 80 concentric with the apertures 82 and 84 to receive the bearings 58 and 60, and poxtions of bearing spacers 54 and 56. Side plates 17 and 19 ;
include arcuate channels 89 and 89a for rotation of the armature 20 within the assembled motor 10.
Centrally arranged on opposite sides of the armature 20 and positioned between adjacent magnets 12 and 14, and 16 and 18, respectively, areopposing brushes 90 and 92. The brushes 90 and 92 are solid and rectangular in shape and biased for con- ;
tact with the exposed conductive elements 32 of the top layer 28 ' of the armature 20 by springs 94 and 96, respectively. ~he springs 94 and 96 have one end mechanically coupled to contact terminals 98 and 100 and their other end engaging brushes 90 and 28 92.

1~39787 The assembled motor 10 may also include four rectan-gular spacing strips 102 which may be made of rubber. The spacing strips 102 are positioned adjacent the magnets 12, 14, 16, and 18 at the outer end thereof and have one end in contact with the contact terminals 98 or 100 and their other end in contact with end plates 78 or 80. It may be advantageous in some applications, e.g., where reduction of magnetic leakage is desired, to replace the spacing strips 102 with edge magnets.
In operating the motor 10, main magnets 12, 14, 16, and 18 set up amagneticfiëIdB in the direction indicated by the arro~ marker B. A d.c. current (I) is applied to the terminal 100 and carried by brush 92 to the outer conductive elements 32 in contact therewith. The current travels through these outer conductive elements 32 and as a result of the inter-connection o the conductive elements 30 and 32 through certain of the inner conductive elements 30, and back through the outer conductive elements 32 in contact with brush 90 and through brush 90 to terminal 98, completing the circuit.
According to basic electromagnetic theory, a ~orce is applied to the individual conductive elements 30 and 32 of the armature 20 due to the interaction of field B and the current I
passing through the conductive element~ 30 and 32. The ~ector equation F = IL x ~ defines the force acting upon each of the conductive elements 30 and 32 of the armature 20 through which the current passes. These forces cooperate to apply a force couple to the armature 20 causing rotation of the armature 20 27 and shaft 24 at a speed dependent upon the length of the -~
