A two-dimensional motor and a servo valve are provided. The two-dimensional motor includes a stator and a rotator arranged coaxially. The stator is enclosed in the rotor. The stator and the rotor are spaced along a radial direction of the rotor. A size of the stator along an axial direction is greater than a size of the rotor along the axial direction. The rotor is, without bearing support, directly connected to an external mechanism. The rotor is swung at a predetermined angle, such that the external mechanism can drive the rotor to move along an axial direction of the rotor relative to the stator.

A dual axis motor a first epicyclic gear, a second epicyclic gear, a rim gear, an inner rotor, an outer rotor, a brake and a stator assembly. The second epicyclic gear is operative to mesh with the first epicyclic gear and move in around the first epicyclic. The inner rotor is fixedly connected to the first epicyclic gear. The outer rotor fixedly is connected to the second epicyclic gear. The stator assembly spaced from the inner rotor by a first gap and spaced from the outer rotor by a second gap. The motor provides a resultant torque to driven device. The resultant torque is provided by the inner rotor, outer rotor, the brake, or by sudden deceleration of one or more elements within the dual axis motor. The gear ratio provided by the first and second epicyclic gear allow for an enhanced speed range while providing high starting torque.
