Abstract
A motor includes a rotating portion including a shaft and a rotor, and a stationary portion including a stator and a magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor is located above the rotor to detect the rotational position of the rotor. The rotor includes a tubular rotor core defined by laminated steel sheets; a rotor magnet including an upper end surface at an axial level higher than an axial level of an upper end surface of the rotor core; and a rotor holder including a ferromagnetic body, and above the rotor core and radially inside of the rotor magnet. Each of the rotor core and an outer cylindrical portion of the rotor holder is in contact with the rotor magnet or opposite to the rotor magnet with a gap intervening therebetween.
