In the conventional permanent magnet field-type synchronous machine as described above, if one synchronous machine is equivalently viewed, it is an inner rotor type in which the rotor 5 is seen from the outer stator 1 and an outer rotor in which the rotor 5 is seen from the inner stator 3. Since it is configured with two synchronous machines of the shape, if one control amplifier tries to perform the control operation of the synchronous machine, the two synchronous machines must be operated in parallel and controlled. It becomes the same as what must be done. Therefore, not only is the phase of the current flowing through the coil 2 of the outer stator 1 and the current flowing through the coil 4 of the inner stator 3 that are opposite to each other across the permanent magnet 6 different, but also the outer stator 1 and the inner stator The rate of temperature rise is also significantly different from that of No. 3, and there is a problem that it is not possible to control minute rotation speed and stop the servo system at a fixed position.

[Operation] In this invention, the coil on the outer stator side and the coil on the inner stator side are arranged in the same radial line direction via the permanent magnets, and are also arranged in the same radial line direction. Since the coils of both stators are connected in series to form an in-phase coil, the magnetic circuit is not formed separately on the outer stator side and the inner stator side, and one synchronous machine is equivalent to the conventional one. As a matter of fact, two synchronous machines are never used, so that one control amplifier can accurately control the rotation speed.
