A fifth ball bearing that rotatably supports a rotating shaft is provided on one side of a pinion gear in an axial direction of the rotating shaft. A sixth ball bearing that rotatably supports the rotating shaft is provided on the other side of the pinion gear in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. A carrier is provided with a bearing fixing portion that supports the fifth ball bearing immovably in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and a bearing guide portion that supports the sixth ball bearing movably in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The fifth and sixth ball bearings are provided so as not to be close to each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and a female screw portion has a rattling adjustment member that presses the sixth ball bearing toward the side where the fifth ball bearing is provided.

Planetary gear reduction mechanism

A planetary gear reduction mechanism is capable of accurately driving an object to be driven. A carrieris provided with first and second support shaft fixing holesandto which a support shaftthat rotatably supports a planetary gearis fixed, and a shaft couplingis fixed to the carrierby a fixing pinfixed to the second support shaft fixing hole, which allows the shaft couplingto be accurately fixed to the carrierformed with high processing accuracy. Therefore, a planetary gear reduction mechanismis realized, which is capable of accurately driving a drive mechanism of a robot, which is an object to be driven.

A rotor includes a rotary shaft having a non-magnetic body, a plurality of rotor cores, and a plurality of permanent magnets disposed between the plurality of rotor cores, wherein a concave section extending in an axial direction is formed in any one of the non-magnetic body and a base end of the rotor core, and a convex section fitted into the concave section is formed at the other, the concave section is formed by a key groove section and a dovetail groove section in communication with each other, the convex section is formed by a key section configured to fit into the key groove section and a dovetail protrusion configured to fit into the dovetail groove section, the key section and the dovetail protrusion being integrally formed with each other, and a gap is formed between the dovetail groove section and the dovetail protrusion in the circumferential direction.

Rotor and motor

A brushless motor according to the present invention is provided with a tubular stator case, a stator core fitted into the stator case, and a rotor rotatably supported via a bearing inside the stator core. The stator core includes a tubular yoke portion and a plurality of split cores which are detachably mounted on the tubular yoke portion. A plurality of commutating-pole teeth which extend radially inward are integrally formed on an inner peripheral surface of the tubular yoke portion at regular intervals in the peripheral direction of the tubular yoke portion; and a root portion of each of the commutating-pole teeth has inclined shoulders which are gradually enlarged radially outward.

Brushless motor

A brushless motor according to the present invention is provided with: a tubular stator case; a stator core fitted into the stator case; and a rotor rotatably supported via a bearing inside the stator core, wherein: an inner flange portion which extends radially inward is formed at a peripheral edge of an opening of one end of the stator case; and a bracket is fixed to the inner flange portion while contacting therewith so as to close the opening.

A brushless motor according to the present invention is provided with: a tubular stator case; a stator core; and a rotor. The stator core includes a tubular yoke portion and a plurality of split cores. A plurality of dovetail grooves are formed in an inner peripheral surface of the yoke portion; each split core has a coil bobbin which has a mounting hole so as to penetrate in a radial direction, and a split teeth which is mounted into the mounting hole of the coil bobbin. The coil bobbin has a winding portion, and flange portions, and a clearance portion into which a winding starting end of the coil is strayed from the winding portion is formed on the inside of the one of the flange portions by reducing the thickness of the flange portion such that.

This brushless motor according to the present invention is provided with: a tubular stator case; a stator core; a rotor; a plurality of teeth which are integrally formed on an inner peripheral surface of the stator core; a coil bobbin mounted between the mutually adjacent teeth, which has a winding portion around which a coil is wound; a lead wire; and a wiring substrate which relays a connection between the lead wire and the coil, wherein: the coil bobbin has flange portions; one of the flange portions which is located on the inward in the radial direction has an enlarged member which protrudes outward from the surface of the flange portion; a pair of terminals which is connected to the wiring substrate is provided on the enlarged portion so as to be located more inward than a tip of the tooth in the radial direction.
