Abstract
A brushless motor is disclosed having a plurality of stator coils disposed circumferentially around a rotatable shaft and a rotor magnet supported to a yoke fixed to the rotatable shaft and opposed to the stator coils. A radial bearing, for radially supporting the shaft, is supported at the center of a coil supporting member supporting the plurality of stator coils. The coil supporting member is formed integral with the radial bearing and is fixed to a casing having a thrust bearing at its center for axially supporting the shaft. Thus, the relative positional accuracy between the stator coil, thrust bearing, and radial bearing can be made high resulting in a stable rotating speed.
