To obtain a troidal winding motor in which automation of winding is facilitated even in such a case that a troidal winding motor as winding is applied to a stator core back, and to obtain a hoist for an elevator employing it.

In the troidal winding motor comprising a stator 1 applied with a troidal winding 5, and a rotor 13 opposing the stator through an air gap on the inside and outside thereof, the stator 1 comprises a plurality of split stator cores 1b laminated in units of slot. Adjacent ones of these split stator cores are combined and coupled thus assembling one circular stator.
