A three phase DC motor (10) including a rotor portion (12) and a stator portion (16). The rotor portion (12) includes 6N+/-2 permanent magnet poles (32), and the stator portion(16) includes 6N electromagnet poles where N in an integer. The motor (10) is characterized in that it has a high pole density, thus enabling improved efficiency, while retaining acceptable non constant torque characteristics. Since the inventive motor configuration provides for a symmetrical winding pattern, no assymetrical radial forces are produced. The inventive configuration further allows for small motor size in the height dimension. A first preferred embodiment of the motor (10) is adapted for three phase power to be connected to the motor windings (50), (56) and (58) in a "Y" fashion. An alternate preferred embodiment of the invention (610) has coil windings (650), (656) and (658) connected in delta configuration.
