The present disclosure relates to a stepping motor. The stepping motor includes a rotor assembly including a rotating shaft and a magnetic steel sheathed outside the rotating shaft and a number of stator assemblies. The stator assembly spacing is sheathed outside the rotor assembly. The stator assembly includes a fixed claw pole around the periphery of the rotor assembly and a coil on the fixed claw pole. The stator assemblies are arranged in layers along the axial direction of the rotor assembly in turn. Because the plurality of stator assemblies are arranged in the same shaft to drive a rotor assembly together, the problem of easy eccentricity is avoided, and the output efficiency is greatly increased.

An electric machine winding assembly including a stator and windings is provided. The stator may define a central axis. The windings may extend from the stator and each may include a pair of conductor ends. Each conductor end may include a minor side and a major side. The windings are arranged with the stator such that each of the major sides are aligned along a circumferential conductor axis relative to the central axis to facilitate welding adjacent conductor ends to one another. Each of the windings may further include two portions defining a U shape. Each of the two portions may include a lower portion, a mid-portion, and an upper portion. One of the mid-portions may include a first bend defining a twist shape to orient the major sides of one of the pair of conductor ends along the circumferential conductor axis.
