Abstract: A motor includes a bearing holder and an attachment plate fixed to a radial outer surface of the bearing holder. The attachment plate includes a flat portion including a circular hole and a burring portion axially protruding from the circular hole. The bearing holder includes holder protrusion portions each including a radial outer surface at least partially making contact with the burring portion and holder recess portions and the holder protrusion portions and the holder recess portions are alternately arranged along a circumferential direction. The burring portion includes a plurality of caulking sections extending radially outward to make contact with the circuit board and the plurality of caulking sections are arranged radially outward of the holder recess portions.

Abstract: A fixation portion of an attachment plate is fixed onto an upper surface of a flange portion of a housing. In a cylindrical retentive portion of the housing, there is formed an expanded diameter portion which is continuous to the flange portion. There is disposed a ball bearing in the expanded diameter portion. Formed integrally with the flange portion is a fitting portion such that the fitting portion is continuous to the expanded diameter portion.

Abstract: A brushless motor includes a motor drive unit, a circuit board arranged to drive the motor drive unit having through holes formed in the upper surface and the lower surface; and a motor attachment plate including a plate-shaped base portion and plate-shaped fixing portions to fix the circuit board in place. Herein, each fixing portion includes a support portion for making contact with a surface of the circuit board; an arm portion bent in a direction that is substantially parallel to the rotational axis; and a protrusion portion inserted into a through hole, having at least one overhang extension protruding from the through hole. The overhang extension of the protrusion is bent in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis.

Abstract: A cutout portion is formed at an outer peripheral side of a stator placing portion provided in a bearing bush for placing a core back portion of a stator. A connecting wire portion of a coil of the stator is inserted through a gap formed between the cut-out portion and the core back portion. The connecting wire portion is, therefore, prevented from being caught between a lower surface of the core back portion and an upper surface of the stator placing portion when the stator is secured on the stator placing portion by a first fixing member.
