[Problem] To provide a high-efficiency stepping motor in which a magnetic force of an exciting coil is made to effectively contribute to a rotating operation of a rotator. [Solution] The present stepping motor (50) uses permanent magnets (22) having inside a substantially cylindrical inner peripheral surface, and is disposed with a substantially columnar exciting coil (26) inside the inner peripheral surface. Moreover, turning on/off of current application to the exciting coil (26) and the application direction are switched when the permanent magnet (22) and the exciting coil (26) have reached a specific position. Repulsion and attraction that act on both ends of the exciting coil (26) can thereby be made to contribute to a rotary motion of the stepping motor (50). Therefore, the stepping motor (50) can obtain a high conversion efficiency. |
