Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase delivered torque by disposing deforming means for deforming the flexible gear of a harmonic gear device of a stepping motor in an elliptical shape. CONSTITUTION:An attracting force of the magnetic force of a revolving magnetic field 2 is externally operated at a flexible outer toothed gear 3, and an attracting force is internally operated in an elliptical short-axis direction by the magnetic force of the revolving magnetic field of an electromagnet 4. The gear 3 is deformed in an elliptical shape by both the forces. In this case, it is necessary to perpendicularly cross the force of the magnetic force of the field 2 across that of the magnetic force of the field of the electromagnet 4, which is so energized by control means as to magnetize the electromagnet 4 disposed on the short axis of the ellipse.
