Description

  The present invention relates to a motor.

  In outer rotor type motors used for office automation equipment and the like, a bearing holder is often used as a support member for holding a ball bearing and holding a stator, a mounting plate, and the like. The bearing holder may be manufactured by pressing to reduce the cost. In a bearing holder manufactured by press working, a method for positioning a ball bearing in the axial direction is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-23436. The motor of the publication discloses a center piece that supports a stator core and a stator that is fixed to the center piece. Further, the center piece is provided with a stepped portion, and the bearing is positioned in the axial direction (paragraph 0026, FIG. 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-110791 discloses a bearing bush formed by press working to support an armature, and a spacer fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the bearing bush (paragraph 0016, FIG. 1). In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-110791, a bearing is axially positioned by a spacer.
JP 2000-23436 A JP 2007-110791 A

  However, in the configuration of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-23436, since the center piece is subjected to complicated processing, the molding accuracy is deteriorated and the component dimensions are likely to vary. For this reason, it is difficult for the center piece to accurately support the stator and the mounting plate. On the other hand, the configuration of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-110791 describes that an armature is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the bearing bush (paragraph 0019). When the armature is press-fitted, the inner peripheral surface of the bearing bush is slightly deformed. Since the spacer is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the bearing bush, the outer dimension of the spacer needs to be set strictly in consideration of the deformation amount of the inner diameter of the bearing bush. Therefore, the manufacturing management of the spacer may become complicated.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a motor having a simple shape bearing holder and a spacer, positioning the bearing in the axial direction, and the fastening strength between the bearing holder and the spacer even if the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder is deformed. Can be maintained.

  An exemplary first invention of the present application includes: a bearing holder that extends in the axial direction around a central axis that extends vertically; a substantially cylindrical bearing holder; a bearing portion that is fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder; A substantially cylindrical spacer that is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface, a stator that is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder, a mounting plate that is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder at an axial lower side than the stator, and a shaft A shaft that extends in the direction and is rotatably supported by the bearing portion, a covered substantially cylindrical rotor holder that is fixed above the shaft, and a magnet that is fixed to the rotor holder and faces the stator in the radial direction, The bearing portion includes a first bearing and a second bearing positioned below the first bearing, and the spacer is positioned between the first bearing and the second bearing in the axial direction. The holder is a step where the stator is press-fitted. A press-fitting region, a mounting plate press-fitting region into which the mounting plate is press-fitted, and a spacer press-fitting region into which the spacer is press-fitted, and at least one axial end of the spacer press-fitting region is a portion of the stator press-fitting region. The motor is characterized by being positioned between the lower end and the upper end of the attachment plate press-fitting region in the axial direction.

  According to the first exemplary invention of the present application, the stator and the mounting plate are press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder. And the axial direction edge part of the area | region which press-fits the spacer of a bearing holder is located between the area | region where the bearing holder press-fits the stator, and the area | region where the attachment plate is press-fitted. In the region where the stator is press-fitted and the region where the mounting plate is press-fitted, the inner diameter of the bearing holder is slightly reduced. For this reason, the fastening strength of the spacer and the bearing holder is ensured at the end of the spacer between the region where the stator of the bearing holder is press-fitted and the region where the mounting plate is press-fitted.

  Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this application, the direction parallel to the central axis of the motor is the “axial direction”, the direction orthogonal to the central axis of the motor is the “radial direction”, and the direction along the arc centered on the central axis of the motor is the “circumferential direction”. , Respectively. In the present application, the shape and positional relationship of each part will be described with the axial direction as the vertical direction and the stator side as “upper” with respect to the mounting plate. However, this is defined as upper and lower for convenience of explanation, and does not limit the direction when the motor according to the present invention is used.

<1. First Embodiment>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

<1-1. Overall configuration of motor>
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a motor 1 according to this embodiment. The motor 1 of this embodiment is mounted on an OA device such as a printer or a copier, and is used to operate a driving unit such as a roller. However, the motor of the present invention may be used for applications other than OA equipment. For example, the motor of the present invention may be used for transportation equipment such as automobiles, home appliances, medical equipment, disk drives, blower fans, and the like to generate various driving forces.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the motor 1 has a stationary part 2 and a rotating part 3. The stationary unit 2 is relatively stationary with respect to the frame of the device to be driven. The rotating part 3 is supported so as to be rotatable about the central axis J with respect to the stationary part 2.

  The stationary part 2 of the present embodiment includes a mounting plate 21, a circuit board 22, a bearing holder 23, a bearing part 24, a spacer 25, a stator 26, and a coil 27.

  The mounting plate 21 is a plate material that spreads in a direction orthogonal to the central axis J. As the material of the mounting plate 21, a metal having higher rigidity than the circuit board 22 is used. For example, a galvanized steel sheet, SUS, an aluminum alloy, or the like is used as the material of the mounting plate 21. The mounting plate 21 is fixed to the frame of the device to be driven.

  The mounting plate 21 has a first insertion hole 210 into which the bearing holder 23 is inserted. The first insertion hole 210 is a circular hole provided substantially coaxially with the central axis J. The mounting plate 21 includes a mounting plate cylindrical portion 211, an inner plate-shaped portion 212, a step portion 213, and an outer plate-shaped portion 214. The mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 protrudes in a substantially cylindrical shape from the edge of the first insertion hole 210 toward the upper side in the axial direction. The inner plate-like portion 212 extends from the lower end of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 toward the radially outer side. The step portion 213 extends obliquely from the outer periphery of the inner plate-shaped portion 212 toward the radially outer side and the axially lower side. In addition, the outer plate-like portion 214 extends further outward in the radial direction from the lower end of the step portion 213.

  The mounting plate 21 of the present embodiment is an example of an enclosing member that surrounds the bearing holder 23. The bearing holder 23 is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211. Thereby, the mounting plate 21 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. A contact area extending in the axial direction between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is referred to as an “attachment plate press-fitting region”. In FIG. 2, the range of the attachment plate press-fitting region is indicated by reference numeral 81. When the bearing holder 23 is press-fitted, the step 213 is bent. Thereby, the press-fit load applied to the outer plate-like portion 214 is reduced. As a result, deformation of the outer plate-like portion 214 during press-fitting is suppressed.

  Further, when an unbalanced load is applied to the rotor holder 32 described later, a radial load is applied to the shaft 31, the load is transmitted to the bearing portion 24, and a load is applied to the mounting plate 21. However, the mounting plate 21 of this embodiment has a stepped portion 213. For this reason, the load acts not only on the lower end portion of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 but also on the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the stepped portion 213. Therefore, the stress due to the load on the lower end portion of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 is reduced. As a result, the deformation of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 due to the vibration of the rotor holder 32 by driving is suppressed.

  The circuit board 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the inner plate-like portion 212. As the circuit board 22, for example, a glass epoxy board or a paper phenol board is used. An electronic circuit for supplying a drive current to the coil 27 is mounted on the circuit board 22. In particular, in the present embodiment, the stepped portion 213 of the mounting plate 21 extends in a direction away from the circuit board 22. Therefore, a gap is interposed between the upper surfaces of the stepped portion 213 and the outer plate-like portion 214 and the lower surface of the circuit board 22. For this reason, the electronic component can be arranged not only on the upper surface of the circuit board 22 but also at a location facing the outer plate-like portion 214 on the lower surface of the circuit board 22 in the axial direction.

  The bearing holder 23 of the present embodiment is a metal press-processed product. When manufacturing the bearing holder 23, first, the cylindrical portion 231 is formed by drawing the metal plate. Thereafter, the outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 232 is punched out to obtain the bearing holder 23. In that case, it is easier to obtain higher dimensional accuracy in the outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 232 formed by punching than in the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 231 formed by drawing. Therefore, when assembling the motor 1 to the device to be driven, the motor 1 may be positioned with respect to the device using the flange portion 232.

  The bearing holder of the present invention may be obtained by other methods such as cutting and casting.

  The bearing portion 24 is a mechanism that rotatably supports the shaft 31 on the rotating portion 3 side. The bearing portion 24 of the present embodiment has a first bearing 241 and a second bearing 242. The second bearing 242 is disposed below the first bearing 241. As the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 of the present embodiment, ball bearings that rotate the outer ring and the inner ring relative to each other via a sphere are used. However, other types of bearings such as oil-impregnated sintered bearings may be used instead of the ball bearings.

  The outer rings of the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 are fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. On the other hand, the inner rings of the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 are fixed to the shaft 31.

  As shown in FIG. 1, bearings having the same outer diameter are used as the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 of the present embodiment. If it does in this way, a common bearing can be used for the 1st bearing 241 and the 2nd bearing 242, and the compatibility of parts improves. Further, the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is continuous in the axial direction with substantially the same diameter from the radially outer position of the first bearing 241 to the radially outer position of the second bearing 242. For this reason, the cylindrical part 231 can be easily obtained by drawing. However, the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 may have different outer shapes, and the size of the bearing is not limited.

  The spacer 25 is disposed between the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242 in the axial direction. The upper end portion of the spacer 25 is in contact with the outer ring of the first bearing 241. The lower end portion of the spacer 25 is in contact with the preload member 28. The preload member 28 contacts the outer ring of the second bearing 242. Thereby, the space | interval of the axial direction of the 1st bearing 241 and the 2nd bearing 242 is maintained. The spacer 25 is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. A contact region extending in the axial direction between the outer peripheral surface of the spacer 25 and the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is referred to as a “spacer press-fitting region”. In FIG. 2, the range of the spacer press-fitting region is indicated by reference numeral 91. That is, the bearing holder 23 has a stator press-fitting region 71, a mounting plate press-fitting region 81, and a spacer press-fitting region 91.

  The stator 26 is fixed to the bearing holder 23 above the mounting plate 21. The stator 26 is formed of a laminated steel plate in which electromagnetic steel plates such as silicon steel plates are laminated in the axial direction. The stator 26 includes an annular core back 261 and a plurality of teeth 262 protruding outward from the core back 261 in the radial direction.

  The bearing holder 23 is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the core back 261. That is, the stator 26 is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. A contact region extending in the axial direction between the inner peripheral surface of the stator 26 and the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is referred to as a “stator press-fitting region”. In FIG. 2, the range of the stator press-fitting region is indicated by reference numeral 71. Thereby, the stator 26 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23.

  The plurality of teeth 262 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction. A coil 27 is attached to each tooth 262. The coil 27 is configured by a conductive wire wound around each tooth 262.

  The rotating unit 3 according to the present embodiment includes a shaft 31, a rotor holder 32, and a magnet 33.

  The shaft 31 is a columnar member extending along the central axis J. For example, a metal such as stainless steel is used as the material of the shaft 31. The shaft 31 rotates about the central axis J while being supported by the bearing portion 24. The upper end portion of the shaft 31 protrudes upward from the first bearing 241. Further, the lower end portion of the shaft 31 protrudes downward from the second bearing 242. The lower end portion of the shaft 31 is connected to a drive portion of the OA device via a power transmission mechanism such as a gear.

  The rotor holder 32 is a metal member that rotates together with the shaft 31. The rotor holder 32 has a top plate portion 321 and a cylindrical portion 322. The top plate portion 321 extends in a substantially flat plate shape above the coil 27. The inner end of the top plate portion 321 is fixed to the upper end portion of the shaft 31. The cylindrical portion 322 extends in a cylindrical shape from the outer end of the top plate portion 321 downward.

  The magnet 33 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 322 of the rotor holder 32. The magnet 33 rotates together with the shaft 31 and the rotor holder 32. For the magnet 33, for example, a ferrite magnet or a neodymium magnet is used. The magnet 33 of this embodiment is an annular shape. The inner peripheral surface of the magnet 33 faces the plurality of teeth 262 of the stator 26 in the radial direction. Further, N poles and S poles are alternately magnetized in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the magnet 33.

  A plurality of magnets may be used instead of the annular magnet 33. In this case, a plurality of magnets may be arranged in the circumferential direction so that the N pole magnetic pole surface and the S pole magnetic pole surface are alternately arranged.

  When a drive current is applied to the coil 27 via the circuit board 22, a radial magnetic flux is generated in each tooth 262 of the stator 26. A circumferential torque is generated by the action of magnetic flux between the teeth 262 and the magnet 33. As a result, the rotating unit 3 rotates about the central axis J with respect to the stationary unit 2. When the rotating unit 3 rotates, power is transmitted to the driving unit connected to the shaft 31.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting plate 21 has a first insertion hole 210 for housing the bearing holder 23. The first insertion hole 210 is a circular hole. The circular hole penetrates in the axial direction. The mounting plate 21 includes a mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 that extends upward in the axial direction from the inner peripheral end of the circular hole. In FIG. 2, the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 extends axially upward from the inner peripheral end of the circular hole. By providing the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211, the contact area between the mounting plate 21 and the bearing holder 23 increases. Therefore, the fastening strength between the mounting plate 21 and the bearing holder 23 is improved. The mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 of the mounting plate 21 has a plurality of caulking portions 215 arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Each caulking portion 215 is plastically deformed radially outward from other portions of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211. Further, the lower surface of each caulking portion 215 is in contact with the upper surface or edge portion of the circuit board 22. Accordingly, the circuit board 22 is sandwiched and fixed between the inner plate-like portion 212 of the mounting plate 21 and the caulking portion 215.

  That is, in the motor 1, the mounting plate 21 and the circuit board 22 are fixed using the caulking portion 215 provided on the mounting plate 21 itself. By setting it as such a structure, the screw member etc. which fix the attachment board 21 and the circuit board 22 can be abbreviate | omitted, and the number of parts of the motor 1 can be reduced. Moreover, the process of fixing the mounting plate 21 and the circuit board 22 can be shortened compared with the case of performing operations such as screwing.

  A second bearing 242 is fixed to the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 on the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. In other words, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the second bearing 242 is located in the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 on the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23. Therefore, the second bearing 242 and the shaft 31 are subjected to an offset load due to the influence of the press-fitting of the mounting plate 21. At this time, the mounting plate 21 supports the second bearing 242 via the bearing holder 23 due to the configuration in which the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 is located on the radially outer side of the second bearing 242. For this reason, the bearing holder 23 has improved resistance to uneven loads. In other words, it is easy to prevent the bearing holder 23 from being deformed by an unbalanced load.

  The lower end of the mounting plate 21 is located above the lower end of the bearing holder 23. With this configuration, when the motor 1 is attached to the gear of the device member, the attachment plate 21 and the device member are prevented from unnecessarily interfering with each other. Therefore, the transmission of vibration from the members of the apparatus can be minimized.

  The shaft 31 has a gear cutting portion 311 that meshes with a gear of a member of a device to which the motor 1 is attached. The gear cutting portion 311 indicates a portion to which a gear of a member of a device to which the motor 1 is attached can be attached. Above the gear cutting portion 311, there is a portion where the gear of the device member cannot be attached. The upper end of the gear cutting portion 311 is located above the lower end of the bearing holder 23. According to this configuration, the gear of the device member can be brought closer to the lower end of the bearing holder 23. Therefore, the influence of the deflection on the member due to the shaft distortion can be minimized.

  The motor 1 includes a preload member 28 positioned between the spacer 25 and the second bearing 242 in the axial direction. The preload member 28 is a washer having a substantially annular shape having elasticity. By disposing the preload member 28, it is possible to use a ball bearing while applying axial preload to the bearing portion 24. Due to the elasticity of the preload member 28, an upward force is applied to the outer ring of the bearing portion 24. However, when different bearings from the ball bearings such as the oil-impregnated sintered bearing are adopted as the first bearing 241 and the second bearing 242, the preload member 28 is not configured.

  Next, a more detailed fixing structure of the mounting plate 21, the stator 26, the bearing holder 23, and the bearing portion 24 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the motor 1 in the vicinity of the bearing holder 23. FIG. 2 schematically shows the stator press-fitting region 71, the mounting plate press-fitting region 81, and the spacer press-fitting region 91 in order to facilitate understanding of the fixing structure.

  The spacer 25 is a metal pressed product. The spacer 25 has a spacer cylindrical portion 251 and a small diameter portion 252. The spacer cylindrical portion 251 is a cylindrical portion. The small diameter portion 252 extends radially inward from the lower end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251. With this configuration, the small diameter portion 252 and the preload member 28 can be brought into contact with each other, and the contact area of the spacer 25 with respect to the preload member 28 can be increased. As a result, the preload member 28 can be stably disposed.

  At least one axial end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is located between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 in the axial direction. In FIG. 2, in the motor 1, the lower end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is located between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitting region 81.

  Here, in a state where the stator 26 and the mounting plate 21 are press-fitted into the bearing holder 23, the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is slightly deformed inward in the radial direction by a load due to the press-fitting of the stator 26 and the mounting plate 21.

  Therefore, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 corresponding to the stator press-fitting region 71 and the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 is equal to the bearing holder 23 corresponding between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitting region 81. It is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface. That is, the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 corresponding to the spacer press-fitting region 91 is located radially outside the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 corresponding to the stator press-fitting region 71 and the mounting plate press-fitting region 81. As a result, at the lower end of the spacer 25, movement in the axial direction is suppressed by the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 corresponding to the stator press-fitting region 71 and the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 that are slightly deformed radially inward. Therefore, the fastening strength between the spacer 25 and the bearing holder 23 is ensured.

  Here, the lower end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 is positioned above the upper end of the attachment plate press-fitting region 81 in the axial direction. Further, the lower end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 is positioned on the lower side in the axial direction than the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71. Therefore, the lower end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is located between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the attachment plate press-fitting region 81. A small diameter portion 252 is located at the lower end of the spacer press-fitting region 91. The small diameter portion 252 increases the rigidity of the portion of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 located on the radially outer side of the small diameter portion 252. Since the rigidity of the small diameter part 252 is high, the reaction force of the part of the spacer cylindrical part 251 located outside the small diameter part 252 with respect to the load received from the bearing holder 23 becomes large. Therefore, the reaction force of the spacer 25 is increased with respect to the bearing holder 23. Therefore, the fastening strength between the bearing holder 23 and the spacer 25 can be increased.

  As described above, the small diameter portion 252 increases the rigidity of the portion of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 located on the radially outer side of the small diameter portion 252. Therefore, it is desirable that a part of the small diameter portion 252 is provided at a position overlapping the spacer press-fitting region 91 in the axial direction. With this configuration, the reaction force of the small diameter portion 252 against the load received from the bearing holder 23 contributes to the fastening between the spacer 25 and the bearing holder 23. Therefore, the fastening strength between the bearing holder 23 and the spacer 25 can be further increased. At this time, the fastening strength between the bearing holder 23 and the spacer 25 is maximized at the lower end of the spacer press-fitting region 91. Therefore, the lower end of the spacer 25 is suppressed from moving in the axial direction.

<2. Second Embodiment>
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a part of the motor according to the second embodiment. In the motor 1 according to the second embodiment, the upper end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is located between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the attachment plate press-fitting region 81. Similar to the description of the motor 1 according to the first embodiment, the movement of the spacer 25A in the axial direction is suppressed. Also in the present embodiment, it is desirable that a part of the small diameter portion 252A is provided at a position overlapping with the spacer press-fitting region 91 of the bearing holder 23 in the axial direction.

  The small diameter portion 252A of the spacer 25A extends radially inward from the upper end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251A. The lower end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 </ b> A is positioned on the upper side in the axial direction from the upper end of the attachment plate press-fitting region 81. The upper end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251 </ b> A is located below the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71. By the small diameter portion 252A, the rigidity of the portion of the spacer cylindrical portion 251A located on the radially outer side of the small diameter portion 252A is increased.

  As shown in the first and second embodiments, at least one axial end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is in the axial direction between the lower end of the stator press-fitted region 71 and the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitted region 81. It suffices if it is located between. The small diameter portions 252 and 252A extend radially inward from at least one of the axial end portions of the spacer cylindrical portions 251 and 251A.

<3. Modification>
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a part of the motor according to the third embodiment. In the motor 1B according to the third embodiment, the small diameter portion 252B extends radially inward and axially downward from the axial end of the spacer cylindrical portion 251B. Also in this configuration, the lower end of the spacer press-fitting region 91 is positioned between the lower end of the stator press-fitting region 71 and the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitting region 81 in the axial direction.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a part of the motor according to the fourth embodiment. In the motor 1C according to the fourth embodiment, the spacer 25C is manufactured by casting such as die casting. The thickness in the radial direction of the small diameter portion 252C is thicker than the thickness in the radial direction of the spacer cylindrical portion 251C. That is, the rigidity of the small diameter part 252C is higher than the rigidity of the spacer cylindrical part 251C. Considering the reaction force of the spacer 25C with respect to the load received from the bearing holder 23, the reaction force of the small diameter portion 252C is larger than the reaction force of the spacer cylindrical portion 251C. Therefore, in the fastening between the bearing holder 23 and the spacer 25C, the fastening strength at the small diameter portion 252C is the largest. As a result, the movement of the spacer 25C in the axial direction is further suppressed.

  In addition, about the detailed shape of a motor, you may differ from each drawing of this application. Moreover, you may combine suitably each element which appeared in said embodiment and modification in the range which does not produce inconsistency.

  For example, the bearing holder 23 may have a large diameter at a portion that holds the second bearing 242. In this case, the mounting plate 21 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 above the second bearing 242.

  The mounting plate cylindrical portion 211 may extend downward in the axial direction from the inner peripheral end of the circular hole. At the upper end of the mounting plate cylindrical portion 211, the rigidity of the inner peripheral end of the circular hole of the mounting plate 21 is increased. Therefore, at the upper end of the mounting plate press-fitting region 81, the inner peripheral surface of the bearing holder 23 is further deformed radially inward. Accordingly, the movement of the spacer 25 in the axial direction is further suppressed.

  The present invention can be used for a motor.
