A motor includes an electrical discharging device including a conductive member in contact with a region of the outer surface of a shaft extending in the axial direction along the rotation axis parallel to the horizontal direction. When viewed from the axial direction, the electrical discharging device is disposed on one side and the other side in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction and parallel to the horizontal direction with respect to a contact portion between the shaft and the conductive member, or is disposed on a vertically obliquely upper side with respect to the contact portion. The electrical discharging device is further disposed on one side and the other side in the above-described parallel direction with respect to the rotation axis or is disposed on the vertically obliquely upper side with respect to the rotation axis when viewed from the axial direction.

Motor

An electrical discharging device electrically connects a shaft of a motor and a housing. A plate portion of the housing has an opening through which the shaft is inserted and expands in a radial direction. A cover member is disposed on the plate portion and covers the electrical discharging device. A seal member is disposed between the shaft and the plate portion in the opening. The through hole is disposed in the plate portion and/or the cover member. The electrical discharging device is accommodated in an accommodation space surrounded by the plate portion and the cover member. The accommodation space is connected to the outside through the through hole.
