In a geared motor, a cover plate is fitted to an opening of a housing of a geared motor. The cover plate includes an output shaft hole, a rib and a short cylindrical portion. The output shaft hole penetrates through a center of the cover plate and rotatably receives an output shaft therethrough. The rib is formed along an outer peripheral edge of the cover plate and is radially supported by the housing. The short cylindrical portion is slidably engageable with an outer peripheral surface of the output shaft for radially supporting the output shaft. An inner peripheral surface of a worm wheel is slidably engageable in line contact with a sliding ridge of a disk plate of the output shaft.

Geared motor having worm wheel drivingly connected to output shaft

In a geared motor, a worm wheel and an output gear are rotatably supported about and slidably engaged with a center shaft. A transmitting plate connected to the output gear transmits rotation from the worm wheel to the output gear. An O-ring is fitted around the center shaft. The O-ring is sealingly surrounded on four sides in a seal retaining portion defined by an outer peripheral surface of the center shaft, an inner peripheral surface of the transmitting plate, an end surface of an annular protrusion of the worm wheel and one end surface of the output gear.

Geared motor having seal member for restraining intrusion of water or the like

A clutch includes a stopper secured to a gear housing of a motor. Once the stopper is secured to the gear housing, the stopper restrains axial movement of rolling elements by restraining axial movement of a support member, which rotatably supports the rolling elements, to retain the rolling elements within a collar. A driven-side rotator of the clutch includes reinforcing ribs for reinforcing engaging projections of the driven-side rotator.
