Motor device and vehicle-mounted seat air conditioner

Abstract

A motor device includes: a motor body including a rotor, multi-phase coils for rotating the rotor, and an oil-retaining bearing supporting the rotor for rotation; and a drive control unit detecting a position of the rotor based on counter electromotive force of any of the multi-phase coils, and controlling energization of the multi-phase coils according to the position of the rotor, wherein the drive control unit feedback-controls energization of the multi-phase coils such that rotational speed of the rotor does not fall below a threshold value at which detection of rotational position of the rotor based on the counter electromotive force is impossible.
