    Abstract: An electric work machine (1; 201) includes: a motor housing (6; 212) having a tube part (6C; 212C) and a bottom part (6M; 212M); a brushless motor (5; 228) having a stator (20), which has a first contact surface (58F; 258F), and a rotor (21; 231) disposed in the stator; a baffle plate (25; 285); and an output shaft (31; 292). The stator includes a tube-shaped stator core (50) having a ring-shaped second contact surface (50S; 250S) that is opposite of the first contact surface, and coils (56; 256) wound on the stator core. The stator is held by the motor housing with the first contact surface in contact with the bottom part. A protruding part (25S; 285S) of the baffle plate contacts the entire circumference of the second contact surface of the stator core and is fixed to the motor housing by three or more screws (68; 288).

  • Publication number: 20250044240
    Abstract: Provided is a surface inspection device 1 comprising a sample-driving unit 4 that stably holds a sample 2 irrespective of a rotation angle and that can precisely control the position of the sample 2 relative to vertical-direction driving. The sample-driving unit 4 has a support member 4a that holds the sample 2 and that can displace a sample-holding unit 3 in the vertical direction, and a sample drive source 4b that generates drive force for driving the sample 2. Based on the in-plane position and vertical-direction position of the sample 2 as sensed by a displacement sensor 10 while a spindle shaft 5 is rotating, a controller 13 calculates a different vertical-direction adjustment amount for each in-plane position of the sample 2 and drives the sample 2 by a first adjustment amount in the vertical direction by using a vertical driving stage 6. The sample-driving unit 4 drives the sample 2 in the vertical direction by a second adjustment amount smaller than the first adjustment amount.
