  • Publication number: 20230084091
    Abstract: A motor includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is rotatably supported and includes a magnet. The stator is radially opposed to the rotor and includes a plurality of coils. Each of the coils is formed by winding an electrically-conductive conductor wire in a ring shape. The coils are arranged along a circumferential direction. Moreover, for each of the coils, the conductor wire forming the coil has a first end portion radially protruding from an inner peripheral portion of the coil and a second end portion radially protruding from an outer peripheral portion of the coil.
