Abstract
In a motor, a rotor is supported by a bearing to be rotatable about a central axis extending in an axial direction. The rotor includes a rotor lid portion and a first protruding portion. The rotor lid portion extends in a radial direction. The first protruding portion protrudes in one axial direction from the rotor lid portion, extends along the central axis, and is rotatably supported by a bearing. The bearing has a cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction and surrounds the first protruding portion. A hole extending in another axial direction is located in an end portion in the one axial direction of the first protruding portion. An axial length of the hole is less than about half of an axial length of the first protruding portion.
