A drive device comprising:
- a rotor;
- a stator including a coil;
- a target rotary shaft to which rotation of the rotor is transmitted;
- a case accommodating the rotor, the stator, and the target rotary shaft;
- a target bearing configured to rotatably support the target rotary shaft with respect to the case;
- and
- an electrical connection member configured to electrically connect the target rotary shaft and the case, wherein
- a direction along a rotation axis of the target rotary shaft is an axial direction, a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis is a radial direction, and one side in the axial direction is a first axial side,
- the case includes
- a bearing support portion configured to support the target bearing,
- a facing wall portion disposed on the first axial side with respect to the bearing support portion and facing the target bearing from the first axial side, and
- a surrounding wall portion surrounding a target space from an outer side in the radial direction, the target space being a space between the facing wall portion and the target bearing in the axial direction,
- the electrical connection member includes a contact portion configured to electrically connect members that rotate relative to each other by sliding contact,
- the contact portion is disposed in the target space, and
- a recess formed to be partially recessed from an inner surface of the surrounding wall portion toward the outer side in the radial direction is provided in a lower portion of the surrounding wall portion.
