Motor

A motor comprising:

• a stationary portion;
• a rotating portion that includes a shaft rotatable 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;
• a circuit board that is below the stator;
• and
• an annular spacer that is between the stator and the bearing housing portion;
• the stator includes:
• a stator core that includes an annular core back and a plurality of teeth that extend radially outward from the core back and are arranged in a circumferential direction;
• an insulating film that covers a surface of the teeth, extends radially inward from a lower surface of the teeth, and covers a lower outer edge portion of the core back;
• and
• a coil provided on the teeth;
• and
• the spacer includes:
• a plurality of side wall portions that contact a radially inner surface of the stator core and a radially outer surface of the bearing housing portion;
• and
• a flange portion that protrudes radially outward more than the side wall portion, and contacts a lower inner edge portion of the core back and avoids the insulating film.
