Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine can achieve cost reduction by omitting the formation of grooves on an outer peripheral surface of an outer ring (26) of a bearing (7), and it can also prevent creeping of the bearing (7), thereby suppressing damage to a bearing housing (2a). A resin case (30) is formed in the shape of a cylinder so as to cover the entire axial length of the outer ring (26) of the counter-driving side bearing (7), and slits (32) are formed in the resin case (30) so as to extend axially from one axial end thereof to the other axial end thereof. The resin case (30) is press-fitted into the counter-driving side bearing housing (2a) with the one axial end of the resin case (30) being located at an opening side of the counter-driving side bearing housing (2a). The counter-driving side bearing (7) is press-fitted into the resin case (30).

Abstract: A casting mold which enables an article to be molded by replacing only a specification-variable mold component for molding a section of the article when the specification of only that particular section has been modified, thus permitting reduced manufacturing cost of the molding. The casting mold is used for casting a rear bracket 85 a mounting leg 10 which is subject to changes in specification and a component housing 9 which is combined with the mounting leg into one piece. It is equipped with a main body mold 40 for molding the component housing and a specification-variable mold 41 which is detachably connected to the main body mold, which can be replaced according to specifications, and which molds the mounting leg.
