Abstract

A motor controller includes a drive control portion. The drive control portion is configured to: execute feedback control of a drive current to be supplied to a drive motor, by using an inputted control signal indicating a target rotation speed for the drive motor and a detection signal of a rotation speed detection portion configured to detect a rotation speed of the drive motor; control the drive current in a first control period in which the target rotation speed is changed, such that the drive current is equal to or less than a predetermined first upper limit; and control the drive current in a second control period in which the target rotation speed is constant, such that the drive current is equal to or less than a predetermined second upper limit less than the first upper limit.
