Abstract: A geared electric motor is provided with an armature having an armature shaft supported within a motor yoke and a gear casing attached to said motor yoke by a radial ball bearing having an outer ring fixed to the gear casing and an inner ring fixed to the armature shaft of the armature using a stop ring and a push nut. A commutator is mounted on the armature shaft and a plurality of brushes carried by brush holders are in sliding engagement with the commutator. The brush holders are mounted on a brush holder base connected by elastic bushings to a brush holder base setting member which in turn is secured to the gear casing in engagement with the outer ring of the ball bearing to locate the outer ring in the gear casing.

Abstract: A bearing holder comprises a plurality of pawls engaged with an internal surface of the bearing containing part, a plurality of slots arranged in circumferences of the pawls, and bearing-contacting part in contact with an outer periphery of the bearing. It is used for holding the bearing supporting an armature shaft of a motor equipped with reduction gear, for example.
