An analog gauge includes a coil assembly and a permanent magnet fixedly attached to a rotatable shaft whereby magnetically orthogonal stator coils are disposed about the permanent magnet. The shaft is fixedly attached to a pointer arm that moves over a dial face. As electrical current passes through the coils, electromagnetic fields are induced which, when summed, comprise a magnetic force which is followed by the permanent magnet, shaft, and pointer arm. With reduced-parts circuitry, the flat zone responsiveness of the circuit is delayed until a zener diode is forward biased, yielding increased control over the flat zone responsiveness, without reliance upon the voltage drop across a diode connected between ground and the coil located furthest from the power source.
