Abstract: The present invention provides a geared motor in which a motor lead can be routed within a case to a position set apart from a motor, and a damper device. In the geared motor that is used in the damper device, the case is provided with a motor lead passage that extends in the Y-direction through a position flanked, in the Z-direction, by a side plate part of a case trunk part and the rotation axis of a driving gear that is included in a gear train. It is therefore possible, with the Z-direction positions of a plurality of motor leads being defined, to extend the motor leads in the Y-direction. The Z-direction dimension of the geared motor can then be reduced because the motor leads will then partially overlap the drive gear in the motor lead passage as viewed from the X-direction.
