Abstract

Each of a plurality of brushes is tilted relative to an imaginary plane that is perpendicular to a rotational axis of an armature and is placed on one axial side of a brush holder, at which an interior of a yoke housing is located. A radial inner end part of each brush has a slide contact surface, which is generally parallel to the rotational axis of the armature and slidably contacts an outer peripheral surface of a commutator. At least a portion of the slide contact surface of each brush is axially disposed outside of an opening of the yoke housing.
