Abstract
A self-cooled motor includes a shaft; a rotor; a stator radially opposite the rotor; a housing supporting a bearing and the stator; and an impeller located axially below the rotor, and configured to rotate together with the shaft to generate an air current. The housing includes a base portion located axially above the rotor; two or more attachment portions radially outward of the rotor; and a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical cover portion configured to join the base portion and the attachment portions. A lower end of each attachment portion is located at an axial level lower than an axial level of the impeller. The base portion includes an air inlet. The cover portion includes an air outlet located between adjacent ones of the attachment portions, and configured to connect a space radially inside the housing and a space radially outside the housing with each other.
