Abstract
An inner-rotor brushless motor includes a holding member configured to hold a stator core. The holding member includes a mounting surface disposed perpendicular to a shaft and brought into contact with a mating member in which the inner-rotor brushless motor is installed; bent portions integrated with the mounting surface, bent upward so as to be substantially perpendicular to the mounting surface, and configured to hold the outer circumferential surface of the stator core; and mounting flanges used for fastening the motor to the mating member. The mounting surface, the bent portions, and the mounting flanges are integrated with each other.
