## Abstract

The invention aims to provide a motor module in which the number of components is reduced and the number of steps required for assembly is reduced, and an ABS hydraulic unit in which the motor module is embedded. Provided is a motor module including a motor and a planetary gear mechanism which is attached to an output shaft of the motor. The motor module includes a fixing portion that integrally fixes the motor and the planetary gear mechanism. The fixing portion fixes the motor by inwardly clamping the motor and fixes an internal gear of the planetary gear mechanism.

## Claims
