Abstract: A rotor includes a first resin portion formed the periphery of a main shaft; a first core disposed the outer circumferential portion of the first resin portion; a magnet attached to the radial outside of the first core; and a second core disposed the radially outside end face of the magnet, wherein a plurality of structures in each of which the magnet is sandwiched between the first and second cores are disposed circumferentially around the main shaft, and a second resin portion is formed between the circumferential end faces of adjacent second cores and between the circumferential end faces of adjacent magnets, wherein the first core has a division surface on which the circumferential end faces of itself and an adjacent first core are in surface contact with each other, and wherein the second core is not in contact with an adjacent second core.

Abstract: Magnetic-pole pieces each equipped with a pair of insulators made of resin are provided with a conductive wire wound continuously via a jumper wire making connection between the magnetic-pole pieces, and are arranged in an annular shape. Each insulator has, at one end in a circumferential direction of an axial-direction end, a snap-fit female portion having an opened-ring portion having an opening, and has, at another end, a snap-fit male portion having a pillar portion extending in the axial direction from a base portion. The adjacent magnetic-pole pieces are connected swingably relative to each other via snap-fit connection by fitting of the pillar portion to the opened-ring portion. A jumper-wire-caught portion at which a jumper wire is caught is provided at least in one location of the connection part where mutual connection is made.

Abstract: A stator has a plurality of core pieces being arranged in a ring shape around a rotation axis, and is configured such that a coupling part having a fitting structure is formed between the core pieces adjacent to each other in an arrangement of the ring shape, the coupling part allowing rotation about a pillar portion and restricting displacement in the axis direction by a snap-fit coupling that is formed with the pillar portion being provided on the yoke side of one of the core pieces and extending in a direction parallel to the axis and an open ring portion being provided on the yoke side of the other of the core pieces.
