Abstract

In a motor case 1, recesses 8 are formed in inner surfaces of upper and bottom surface portions 2 and 3 (which are spaced from each other by a distance smaller than the distance between left and right side surface portions 4 and 5), thus reducing the thickness of these surface portions 2 and 3, thereby increasing a space for receiving a stator coil 10 as much as possible. Unlike a construction in which a stator coil is exposed through openings formed in a motor case, the stator coil is covered with the motor case, and therefore the motor is excellent in shielding performance and impact resistance. The motor case 1 has a square tubular shape, and can be formed by blanking, press-forging (for the purpose of forming the recesses) and bending a metal sheet, and the motor case can be produced at a low cost.
