The motor control circuit (12) includes an input voltage measuring unit (125), a temperature measuring unit (128), a speed setting unit, and a speed control unit. The input voltage measuring unit (125) measures an input voltage input to the motor control device (10). The temperature measuring unit (128) measures the temperature. The speed setting unit sets a target value of driving speed of a stepping motor (20) based on a measurement result of the input voltage measuring unit (125) and a measurement result of the temperature measuring unit (128) and based on a set value of driving speed preset for each of the plural partial areas which are sectioned in a matrix form with a threshold value related to the input voltage and a threshold value related to the temperature. The speed control unit controls the driving speed according to the target value of the driving speed set in the speed setting unit.

A stepping dimming motor structure is provided, including a shell, and further including: a winding frame, which is provided with a coil, wherein a wiring block is arranged on a side circumferential wall of the winding frame; two wiring slots are arranged on the wiring block; each wiring slot corresponds to a wiring tab; a magnetically-conductive ring frame. The above scheme generates a magnetic field by powering up the coil to excite the magnetically-conductive ring frame, thus driving the rotor assembly to rotate; the rotor assembly then drives the push rod to move axially, adjusting headlights; and meanwhile, a fastening effect on lead wire ends of the coil and electrical connection between the lead wire ends of the coil and the wiring tabs are achieved through plugging fit between the wiring tabs and the wiring slots, thereby ensuring the structural reliability and improving the assembling efficiency.

A stator core of a motor includes a disk portion and a pole-tooth yoke. The disk portion has a disk shape that extends in a radial direction around a central axis extending in a vertical direction. The pole-tooth yoke is located along a radially outer end of the disk portion. The pole-tooth yoke includes an annular portion and a pole tooth. The annular portion is connected to the radially outer end of the disk portion and extends in a circumferential direction. The pole tooth protrudes to one axial side from the annular portion. The disk portion and the pole-tooth yoke are defined by different members.

An externally programmable shunt valve assembly that includes a motor having a rotor that is operable in response to an externally applied magnetic field and configured to increase or decrease the working pressure of the shunt valve assembly. The motor may further include a position sensing mechanism that allows a position of the rotor, and associated pressure setting of the valve, to be determined using an external magnetic sensor. In certain examples the motor further includes a mechanical brake that is magnetically operable between a locked position and an unlocked position and which, in the locked position, prevents rotation of the rotor.
