  • Patent number: 11346351
    Abstract: A motor includes a bearing having a rolling member disposed between an inner ring and an outer ring, a spring connected to the outer ring, and a pusher connected to the spring and configured to move to a first position spaced apart from the inner ring by the spring. The pusher is further configured to move to a second position at which friction with the inner ring is caused by a pressure of air. The inner ring is spaced apart from the rotating shaft by a gap between the inner ring and the rotating shaft when the pusher is at the second position.

  • Publication number: 20200166045
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a motor including a bearing in which a rolling member is disposed between an inner ring and an outer ring, a spring connected to the outer ring, and a pusher connected to the spring to be retracted to a first position spaced apart from the inner ring by the spring, and to be advanced to a second position at which friction with the inner ring is caused by a pressure of air acting on a pressure surface when the pressure surface on which the pressure of air flowing by the impeller acts is formed, wherein the inner ring is spaced apart from the rotating shaft by a gap formed between the inner ring and the rotating shaft when the pusher is at the second position.
