A novel spherical stepping motor is designed. Eight permanent magnets are attached on the rotor at the vertices of the inscribed hexahedron. Twenty-five armature coils are attached on the stator at the vertices, center of the sides, and the center of the planes of the inscribed octahedron. The design concept and the drive concept of the proposed spherical stepping motor are discussed. The proposed spherical stepping motor will be a high-torque, wide working area spherical motor.
