Claims (22)

1. A motor comprising:

a shaft;

a bearing which supports the shaft;

a shield including a first hole through which the shaft passes; and

a base including a second hole through which the shaft passes,

wherein the shield includes a first region disposed in the base and a second region extending from the first region, protruding outward from the base, and having the first hole, and

the bearing is disposed in the first hole,

wherein the shield includes a plurality of fourth holes disposed in the first region; and the base includes a third protrusion passing through each of the fourth holes.

2. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the shield includes a flange inserted into the base and a first protrusion protruding from the flange, and

the bearing includes an outer circumferential surface in contact with an inner surface of the first protrusion and a first surface of which at least a part is in contact with the base.

3. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the base includes a third region in contact with a part of the bearing and the second hole through which the shaft passes and which has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the first hole.

5. The motor of claim 3 , wherein the third region supports the bearing.

6. The motor of claim 1 , wherein: the bearing includes a third hole through which the shaft passes; a diameter of the first hole is greater than a diameter of the second hole; and the diameter of the second hole is greater than a diameter of the third hole.

7. The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the first region has an annular plate shape and the second region is a cylindrical member bent and extending from an inner side of the first region.

8. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the third protrusion includes a fifth hole which overlaps the fourth hole in an axial direction.

9. The motor of claim 1 , wherein a terminal holder is mounted in the fifth hole.

10. The motor of claim 1 , wherein:

the terminal holder includes an arc-shaped body and a plurality of second protrusions protruding from one surface of the body;
