Abstract
Engaging protrusions of a lower end housing are axially snap-fitted into through holes, respectively, of a yoke housing to couple therebetween. Each of spacers is circumferentially placed between and is press-fitted between corresponding adjacent two of permanent magnets fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the yoke housing. Each spacer axially contacts a corresponding contact part of the end housing. A lower ball bearing and an upper ball bearing are supported by the lower end housing and an upper end housing, respectively, to rotatably support a shaft. A wave washer is axially positioned between the lower ball bearing and the lower end housing to exert an urging force between the lower end housing and the upper end housing through the shaft.
