Abstract

An electric motor includes a cylindrical yoke with a bottom; a bracket that covers an opening of the yoke; and a brush holder. The brush holder includes a brush housing portion, with the brush housing portion having three side piece portions, excluding a bottom piece portion, integrally formed; a first disk portion; and a second disk portion. The first disk portion and the second disk portion are integrated with the bottom piece portion of the brush housing portion. A ring-shaped abutting surface and the bottom piece portion of the brush housing portion are formed on a bracket-side disk surface of the brush holder. The abutting surface is formed as a holding portion that is pressed to the yoke by the bracket via a bracket-side elastic member.
