Outer rotor brushless motor

An outer rotor brushless motor comprising:

• a rotor configured to rotate integrally with a shaft;
• a stator placed radially outward of the shaft and radially inward of the rotor;
• a tubular bushing that is fixed to one end side of the stator and through which the shaft is inserted;
• an impregnated bearing placed radially inward of the stator and on the other end side of the bushing and configured to support the shaft rotatably;
• and
• a washer provided on the one end side relative to the impregnated bearing and configured to rotate integrally with the shaft, wherein
• the bushing includes:
• a fixed portion fixed to a core inner peripheral surface of the stator, the fixed portion having:
• a first end surface facing a bearing end surface on the one end side of the impregnated bearing;
• and a first inner peripheral surface facing an outer peripheral surface of the shaft with first clearance in between with the outer peripheral surface;
• and
• a housing portion having a second inner peripheral surface with a greater diameter than the first inner peripheral surface, on the one end side of the fixed portion,
• an oil repellent finish is applied to at least the first end surface and the first inner peripheral surface,
• the washer is placed radially inward of the second inner peripheral surface, and second clearance greater than the first clearance is provided between the bearing end surface and the first end surface.
