Rotating electrical machine and method of manufacturing the rotating electrical machine

A rotating electrical machine, comprising:

• a substantially cylindrical housing member having a closed bottom;
• a first bearing fixed to a housing bottom portion of the housing member;
• an annular stator fixed to an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder portion of the housing member;
• a bearing support member fixed to a top portion of the housing member;
• a second bearing supported on the bearing support member;
• a rotor core arranged inside the stator;
• a shaft to which the rotor core is fixed, the shaft having a portion positioned below the rotor core and supported on the first bearing and a portion positioned above the rotor core and supported on the second bearing;
• and
• a plurality of rotor magnets axially inserted into and held by a plurality of axially-extending hole-shaped or groove-shaped magnet holding portions formed in the rotor core, one of the bearing support member and the housing bottom portion having a magnet insertion hole axially overlapping with the entirety of at least one of the magnet holding portions.
