Bearing holding device and motor

Abstract

A bearing holding device for holding a sliding bearing rotatably supporting a shaft includes an opposing surface facing an end surface of the sliding bearing on one side in an axial direction, and a holding portion extending from the outer edge of the opposing surface toward the other side in the axial direction. The holding portion has a claw portion that restricts movement of the sliding bearing to the other side and contacts an other-side outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral surface of the sliding bearing on the other side and presses the sliding bearing inward in a radial direction to hold the sliding bearing, and a connection portion connecting the opposing surface and the claw portion to each other. A gap is provided between the connection portion and a one-side outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral surface on the one side.
