  • Patent number: 9531243
    Abstract: A motor includes an attachment portion, a first circuit board, and a second circuit board. The attachment portion is fixed to a frame of an apparatus to be driven by the motor. The first circuit board is located axially below coils and axially above the attachment portion. End portions of conducting wires defining the coils are connected to the first circuit board. The second circuit board is located axially below the attachment portion. An AC to DC conversion portion is mounted on the second circuit board. In addition, the attachment portion is arranged between the first and second circuit boards.

  • Publication number: 20090039725
    Abstract: A servo unit is arranged to operate an actuator, and a brushless motor is utilized in the servo unit. The brushless motor includes a rotational portion provided with a shaft and a rotor magnet rotating integrally with the shaft, a bearing portion rotatably supporting the shaft, a housing provided with a cylindrical portion retaining the bearing portion and a base portion bulging radially outwards from an axially lower portion of the cylindrical portion, a stator provided with a stator core having an inner peripheral surface to radially oppose an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the housing and coils formed by conductive wires wound around the stator core, and a motor circuit board disposed on an axially upper side of the base portion. The base portion of the housing is arranged on an outer peripheral surface with a substantially arcuate concave portion which is concave in a radially inward direction.

  • Publication number: 20080012452
    Abstract: To control low-speed rotation of a motor, a contact-less sensor for reading rotation information on the back surface of a discoid disc is fixed on a radially outside portion of a rotary part. The distance between a detection face of the contact-less sensor and the back surface of the discoid disc is adjusted by bending a mounting plate.
