The driving motor of a camcorder shifts a zoom lens in the direction of the optical axis by means of reduction gear trains. In a majority of camcorders the driving motor is outside the lens barrel. To realize more compact, lighter, and cheaper camcorders, however, it will be necessary to design a built-in direct-drive motor housed inside the lens barrel. A new motor satifying these tough requirements is proposed in this paper. In paticular, three types of rotor―a separate-screw rotor with a cylindrical magnet, a screwed magnet rotor, and a cascade-screw rotor with a brick-shaped magnet―are analyzed with respect to their magnetic fields and torques. To obtain a larger torque, air-gap magnetic flux densities linked to armature windings have to be made higher.
