Abstract: The invention includes a stator disposed inside a yoke, an armature supported inside the stator, a commutator connected to the armature and having a sliding surface in an outer peripheral portion, and a brush disposed opposing the commutator and having a sliding contact surface that comes into sliding contact with the sliding surface of the commutator, wherein the brush has a first member, and a second member with an electrical resistance value higher than that of the first member, the first member is disposed on an entrance side and the second member on an exit side with respect to a direction of rotation of the commutator, and the sliding contact surface of the brush is such that an inclined portion that inclines toward the entrance side with respect to the direction of rotation of the commutator is formed in the first member.
