  • Publication number: 20230130413
    Abstract: A brushless motor is provided that includes a rotor, a stator, a bearing member, an attraction magnet, and a yoke. The rotor includes a shaft, a rotor yoke that holds the shaft and covers a peripheral surface of the shaft, and a magnet disposed around an outer periphery of the rotor yoke. The stator is disposed around an outer periphery of the rotor. An inner wall of a housing serving as a bearing member rotatably holds the shaft with a bearing. The attraction magnet is disposed at an end portion of the inner wall at which the rotor yoke holds the shaft, and produces an attraction force to attract the rotor yoke. The yoke supplements and enhances the attraction force produced by the attraction magnet.
