Abstract
A miniature electric motor has a stator mounted within a casing and a rotor provided so as to face the stator. The rotor includes a rotary shaft rotatably supported to the casing, a rotor body into which the rotary shaft is inserted, the rotor body being made of plastic, and a magnetic layer formed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotary body and made of rare earth plastic magnetic material. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a high torque even with a small amount of rare earth plastic magnet and to avoid separation or cracks of the magnetic layer.
