An electric motor, system and method for activating and deactivating an EAS article is disclosed. The electric motor has a stationary electromagnet having a center. The electric motor further has a platform located parallel to the electromagnet, wherein the platform rotates about a center concentric with the center of the electromagnet. The electric motor further has a first magnet with a first polarity located on the platform and a second magnet with a second polarity located on the platform radially opposite to the first magnet. The electric motor further has a commutator for periodically reversing current supplied to the electromagnet so as to produce a first magnetic field that interacts with the first and the second magnet and causes the platform to spin about its center. When the platform rotates, a second magnetic field for one of activation and deactivation of an EAS article is produced by the first and the second magnet.
