Motor

A motor comprising:

• a stationary portion;
• a rotating portion that includes a shaft rotating about a vertically extending central axis;
• and
• a bearing portion that rotatably supports the shaft with respect to the stationary portion;
• wherein
• the stationary portion includes:
• a cylindrical bearing housing portion that holds the bearing portion;
• a stator that is radially outward of the bearing housing portion and includes a stator core;
• a circuit board that is below the stator core;
• and
• an annular spacer that is between the stator core and the bearing housing portion;
• the spacer includes:
• a plurality of side wall portions that contact a radially inner surface of the stator core;
• a flange portion that protrudes radially outward more than the side wall portion and contacts a lower surface of the stator core;
• and
• a plurality of spacer protrusions that protrude radially inward from a radially inner surface of the side wall portion or the flange portion, and are juxtaposed in a circumferential direction;
• and
• the spacer protrusion contacts a radially outer surface of the bearing housing portion.
