Brushless motor

Abstract

A brushless motor 100 is composed of a motor base 10, a rotary shaft 25 rotatably supported by the motor base 10 through bearings 22 and 23, a back yoke 20 in a shape of flat plate made from a magnetic material being supported by the motor base 10 from one surface of the back yoke in a direction perpendicular to the rotary shaft 25 in a neighborhood of the rotary shaft 25, a plurality of driving coils 31 disposed on another surface of the back yoke 20 opposite to the one surface confronting with the motor base 10 and a rotor yoke 28 having a driving magnet 24 in the shape of ring integrally rotating together with the rotary shaft 25 while confronting the driving magnet 24 with the plurality of driving coils 31 with maintaining a prescribed gap G between them, wherein the plurality of driving coils 31 are disposed on the back yoke 20 around the rotary shaft 25 at angular intervals of a prescribed angle, and wherein the back yoke 20 is provided with a not disposed angular area S in which no driving coil 31 is disposed on the other surface of the back yoke 20 in an area within a prescribed angle around the rotary shaft 25, and the brushless motor 100 further comprising a press contacting means 34 for pressing the back yoke 20 toward the driving magnet 24 so as to deform the back yoke 20, wherein the press contacting means 34 is provided between the motor base 10 and the back yoke 20 in an area axially opposite to the not disposed angular area S with respect to the rotary shaft 25.
