Abstract: A short-circuiting member for preventing a commutator from being elongated in the axial direction without increasing the types of different components. Each component includes outer circumference terminals arranged along an outer circumference, inner circumference terminals arranged along an inner circumference, and connection portions connecting corresponding outer and inner circumference terminals that are separated from each other by a predetermined angle in a circumferential direction. The outer and inner circumference terminals are substantially formed along the same plane. The components are laminated in a state in which the connection portions of one of the components are reversed to the connection portions of another one of the components.

Each outer terminal of the first conductor member group is displaced from a corresponding one of the outer terminals of the second conductor member with respect to the circumferential direction of the first conductor member group.

Abstract: An insulator is mounted in an armature core. Coils are wound around teeth of the armature core by way of concentrated winding. A power feeding member, which supplies a current to the coils, includes a connecting portion. A separating portion, which is provided in the insulator, is located in the teeth.

Abstract: A commutator includes a commutator body having segments and a short circuit member for short-circuiting the segments. The short circuit member includes first short circuit pieces and second short circuit pieces that are stacked. A radially outer end portion of each first short circuit piece is overlapped with and connected to a radially outer end portion of one of the second short circuit pieces. The short circuit member is arranged at an axial end of the commutator body such that each pair of the overlapped radially outer end portions corresponds to one of the segments. The radially outer end portions and the segments each have a connecting projection. The connecting projections of each pair of the overlapped radially outer end portions and the connecting projection of the corresponding segment are arranged to form an adjacently arranged set of the connecting projections, which are bonded by welding.
