Abstract
A support unit serving as a support bearing includes an angular ball bearing. An inner race of the bearing is held by a step portion of a shaft to receive a load in a direction of thrust. An outer race of the bearing has a flange protruding from the outer peripheral surface radially at one end portion of the outer race. The outer race is fixed by a housing by making one end face of the housing abut against the flange. The inner race of the bearing is fixed by clamping a nut which engages a threaded portion of the shaft.
