Abstract
A protrusion includes a leading end to which a yoke is fixed and a connector that connects an axially lower end of a flange and the leading end. A minimum width of the connector in a direction intersecting a direction in which the protrusion protrudes is smaller than a maximum width of the leading end in a radial direction. A radial position at a radially inner end of the leading end is located radially outward with respect to a side surface in a radially inward direction of a magnet.
Claims5
A motor comprising:
- a rotor rotatable about a center axis;
- and
- a stator that drives the rotor;
- wherein
- the rotor includes:
- a magnet radially opposed to the stator;
- a cylindrical yoke to which the magnet is fixed;
- and
- a rotor hub that holds the yoke;
- the rotor hub includes:
- a cylindrical rotor base;
- a flange on which an annular plate is able to be placed on a surface oriented toward one side in an axial direction;
- and
- a protrusion protruding from an end on the other side in the axial direction of the flange toward the other side in the axial direction;
- the flange is located radially outward with respect to the rotor base, extends in a circumferential direction, and is located on one side in the axial direction with respect to the stator;
- the protrusion includes:
- a leading end to which the yoke is fixed;
- and
- a connector that connects the end on the other side in the axial direction of the flange and the leading end;
- a minimum width of the connector in a direction intersecting a direction in which the protrusion protrudes is smaller than a maximum width of the leading end in the radial direction;
- and
- a radial position at an end in a radially inward direction of the leading end is located radially outward with respect to a side surface in the radially inward direction of the magnet.
