Electric Motor

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an electric machine with which a space for fastening a metal member to a flange can be secured and the size of the flange can be reduced in a radial direction. [Solution] An electric machine according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lid member that has a first bearing accommodation portion for accommodating a first bearing for supporting a rotary shaft while covering a rotor having the rotary shaft and an opening end portion, the opening end portion being provided at an end on one side of the axial direction of the electric machine, the rotor being placed on a radially-inner side of a stator formed integrally with a resin outer shell having the opening end portion and a tubular portion protruding from a bottom portion, which is provided at an end on the other side of the axial direction, toward the other side; a metal member that allows electrical conduction of a second bearing accommodation portion held by the tubular portion and is placed on the outer peripheral surface of the resin outer shell; and a vibration isolation member mounted to the tubular portion. The second bearing accommodation portion has a flange extending from a cylindrical portion, which accommodates a second bearing for supporting the rotary shaft, toward a radially-outer direction, the tubular portion has a recess on the outer peripheral surface thereof, the vibration isolation member has a protrusion engaging with the recess, and at least a part of a fastening member for fastening the metal member to the flange is positioned in a region overlapping with the recess in the axial direction.
