Motor

A motor comprising:

• a rotating shaft that is rotatably supported;
• an armature core provided to be rotatable together with the rotating shaft;
• a plurality of coils formed of electrically conductive windings each of which is wound in an annular shape around the armature core, the plurality of coils being arranged in a rotation circumferential direction;
• a commutator provided to be rotatable together with the rotating shaft, the commutator being connected with the windings forming the plurality of coils;
• and
• a pair of brushes provided in contact with the commutator so as to slide on the commutator rotating together with the rotating shaft and thereby switch energization of each of the plurality of coils,
• wherein
• the plurality of coils include three or more coil pairs, each of the three or more coil pairs consisting of a pair of coils configured to be point-symmetrical with each other with respect to a rotation center axis,
• any of the three or more coil pairs would have a different inductance from the remainder of the three or more coil pairs if all the plurality of coils had the same number of turns,
• one of the three or more coil pairs constitutes a pair of number-of-turns adjustment coils which would have a lowest inductance in the plurality of coils if all the plurality of coils had the same number of turns,
• the number of turns of the pair of number-of-turns adjustment coils is set to be larger than the number of turns of any of the remainder of the three or more coil pairs, and
• the inductance of the pair of number-of-turns adjustment coils is set to be higher than the inductance of any of the remainder of the three or more coil pairs.
