Abstract
A rotor unit includes a rotor core made of laminated steel sheets that are vertically laminated, and a holder made of resin. The rotor core and the holder are fixed together through insert molding. For this reason, the process of manufacturing the rotor core and the holder is shortened. Additionally, in the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core, a portion of resin that defines the holder is present between the plurality of steel sheets that defines the rotor core. For this reason, the fixing strength of the rotor core and the holder improves. Additionally, since a separation between the rotor core and the holder is prevented, magnets can be easily press-fitted.
