  • Publication number: 20200161925
    Abstract: An electric motor (1) includes a wiring member (20a, 20b), an annular inner housing (10) disposed on an inner circumferential side of a stator (11), and a wiring fixing member (2) formed around the wiring member (20a, 20b). A longitudinal hole (recessed part) (10a, 10d) which opens to one end surface and extends in an axial direction is formed in an outer circumferential edge portion of the inner housing (10), and a level difference (locking part) (12) is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the longitudinal hole. When the wiring member (20a, 20b) is inserted through the longitudinal hole (10a, 10d), the wiring fixing member (2) is locked to the level difference.

  • Patent number: 10594196
    Abstract: A dual shaft integrated motor includes an inner rotor and an outer rotor that are independently rotatable and rotate in an identical pivotal direction. The inner rotor, an inner stator, an outer stator, and the outer rotor are sequentially arranged from a pivot in a radial direction. The inner stator and the outer stator interpose a non-magnetic body therebetween, the non-magnetic body being provided at a position contiguous with the inner stator and the outer stator along a circumferential direction centering on the pivot.
