A brushless motor comprises a rotor which is rotatable on an axis of the brushless motor and which include permanent magnets arranged circumferentially thereon, an output member connected to the rotor to rotate with the rotor, and a stator which includes electro-magnetic coils energized in order to rotate the rotor, and has a first space which receives the output member therein and a second space which extends from the first space to the outside of the stator so that an output power of the brushless motor is transmitted from the output member to the outside of the brushless motor through the second space.

Brushless motor

In a brushless motor formed from a plate type stator in which a driving coil is buried, and a rotor which opposes this stator, a cutout is formed in a portion where no driving coil of a stator exists and a pulley section is provided in the periphery of the shaft-through section of the rotor. The pulley section is inserted into the rotor shaft hole formed in the center of the stator, and a pulley belt wound on the pulley section is guided outside the motor via the cutout of the above-mentioned stator. That is, the brushless motor is of an ultra-thin type in which a pulley is housed within the thickness of a motor.
