Abstract
An electric motor includes an insert member situated within an insert bore formed in a rotor in order to adjust a balance of the rotor. The insert member has a body part provided with a cutout portion in a part of its circumference to define a gap extending therebetween. The insert member also has a pair of inner protrusions protruding radially inwardly from the opposite side edges of the gap. The size of the gap is determined such that the gap is not closed when the insert member elastically deforms and as a result, the outer diameter of the insert member becomes smaller than the diameter of the insert bore.
