Abstract: A fan motor is provided that prevents restraint on a rotor in an environment where oil and dust are floating in the air. The fan motor includes a stator constituted of an armature having a winding thereon, a rotor constituted of an excitation unit including a permanent magnet, and a vane wheel fixed to the rotor and including a plurality of vanes. The vanes or the vane wheel are formed so as to generate airflow from the side of a frame boss toward a hub unit of the vane wheel.

Abstract: The present invention provides an axial flow fan having conductive pins, each of which is configured to electrically connect a coil of a stator and a circuit board, and to hold a film conductor of the coil. In the conductive pin, one end is fixed to an electrical insulator covering a core stack of the stator, and the other end is electrically connected to the circuit board. The conductive pin is a quadrangular prism pin as a basic configuration and has, in at least a part of a portion exposed from the electrical insulator, a reduced diameter portion having no corners.

Abstract: A brushless DC fan motor capable of communicating with an external apparatus while simplifying the circuitry. A speed control command generator, which generates a command for controlling the rotational speed of the rotor, include a microcomputer (9a) capable of bi-directional communication with an external apparatus (1) by serial communication based on a predetermined communication protocol. The microcomputer (9a) operates the speed control command based on control conditions transmitted from the external apparatus (1) and a signal indicative of the rotational speed and/or the exciting current detected by a speed detector (13) and/or a current detector (15) incorporated in the brushless DC fan motor (1). A drive circuit (7) controls the exciting current by PWM control according to an optimal speed control command.

Abstract: A rotary electric machine such as a fan motor or the like capable of coupling a bearing holder and an insulator to each other without deteriorating accuracy of a diameter of an inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder on which bearings are held. The bearing holder and insulator are coupled to each other by a coupling structure, which is constituted by at least one recess formed on a forward end of the bearing holder and at least one projection provided on the insulator and tightly fitted in the recess. The projection and recess thus fitted together are concurrently heated at a peripheral portion thereof for deformation, resulting in being coupled to each other.
