Stator having seal member, and motor

A stator comprising:

• a first stator part;
• a second stator part incorporated in the first stator part;
• and
• an annular seal member sandwiched between the first stator part and the second stator part, wherein
• the annular seal member is provided with a plurality of protrusions extending radially outward, and
• a groove part and a plurality of recessed parts formed in at least one of the first stator part and the second stator part, the groove part corresponding to the annular seal member, and the plurality of recessed parts correspond to the plurality of protrusions of the annular seal member, and are connected to the groove part at a radially outward side of one of the first stator part and the second stator part, the groove part and the plurality of recessed parts each has a depth measured in a direction perpendicular to a radial direction wherein the depth of the groove part is uniform and the depth of each of the plurality of recessed parts is greater than the depth of the groove part,
• each of the plurality of protrusions of the annular seal has a radially outward extending portion, which extends radially outward of the one of the first stator part and the second stator part, and a depth direction extending portion, which extends in the depth direction of each of the plurality of recessed parts only on the one side of the radially outward extending portion.
