Abstract
A motor-driven fuel pump including a brushless motor; a motor housing for enclosing the brushless motor; and a pump section adapted to be driven by the brushless motor for sucking a fuel and pumping the same into the motor housing. The brushless motor includes a stator fixed to an inner circumference of the motor housing; a rotor assembly adapted to be rotated by supplying current to the stator, which rotor assembly includes a motor shaft, a rotor mounted to the motor shaft a rotor cover mounted to one end of the rotor magnet on the side of the pump section, a timing rotor mounted to the other end of the rotor magnet, and a sensor magnet mounted to an end of the timing rotor on the side opposite to the rotor magnet; an end cover mounted at an inlet end of the brushless motor; a motor shaft bearing mounted in the end cover for rotatably supporting the motor shaft; and a timing rotor bearing interposed between an outer circumference of the timing rotor and the inner circumference of the motor housing for rotatably supporting the timing rotor.
