Motor and blower fan using same
This motor comprises a core, a drive coil wound on the core, a housing, and a stator having an insulator for insulating the drive coil formed one-piece with the housing. Further, the motor comprises a stator casing for encasing the stator, and a rotor disposed outside the stator. Inside the housing is disposed a bearing for supporting the rotary shaft of the rotor, and an oil retainer disposed so as to partially come in contact with the bearing is stored in a storing section provided in either one of the housing and the stator casing.
