A miniature motor includes a closed-bottomed cylindrical motor casing having a cylindrical bearing support portion projecting from a central portion of the bottom of the motor casing, a motor-casing-side bearing accommodated in the bearing support portion, a casing cover fitted to an open end portion of the motor casing, a casing-cover-side bearing accommodated in a central portion of the casing cover, and a rotor rotatably supported by means of the motor-casing-side bearing and the casing-cover-side bearing. The end face of the motor-casing-side bearing is concentrically polished at at least a portion which, when the rotor is urged toward the motor casing, abuts a washer provided on a shaft of the rotor. The above structure reduces sliding loss on the end face of an oil-impregnated bearing which receives a thrust load of the rotor generated due to rotation of the motor.
A miniature motor comprising a closed-bottomed cylindrical motor casing having a cylindrical bearing support portion projecting from a central portion of a bottom of said motor casing, a motor-casing-side bearing accommodated in said bearing support portion, a casing cover fitted to an open end portion of said motor casing, a casing-cover-side bearing accommodated in a central portion of said casing cover, and a rotor rotatably supported by means of said motor-casing-side bearing and said casing-cover-side bearing,
A method for manufacturing a miniature motor, which has a closed-bottomed cylindrical motor casing having a cylindrical bearing support portion projecting from a central portion of a bottom of said motor casing, a motor-casing-side bearing accommodated in said bearing support portion, a casing cover fitted to an open end portion of said motor casing, a casing-cover-side bearing accommodated in a central portion of said casing cover, and a rotor rotatably supported by means of said motor-casing-side bearing and said casing-cover-side bearing, comprising the steps of:
