A motor has a hollow-cylindrical shaped rotary shaft provided with a hollow therein and is mounted on a PCB having an LED as light source. Light emitted from the LED passes through the hollow from one end of the rotary shaft to the other end, and irradiates an indicating needle attached to the other end of the rotary shaft.
A small motor including a rotor, a stator, a bearing member which supports the rotor shaft in the radial and thrust direction and a bearing holding member which holds the bearing member. The bearing holding member is formed in a thin plate-shaped elastic member and includes a bearing holding part which holds the bearing member, arm parts which are extended outward from the bearing holding part in the radial direction in a spiral manner, and an outer peripheral part which is connected to the arm part at a position outward in the radial direction of the bearing holding part and which is fixed to the stator.
An electric dashboard actuator including an electric motor driving an indicator. The electric motor includes a hollow output shaft of which the ends are located at and flush with two opposite surfaces of the motor, and the indicator includes a male coupling member with a cross-section matching the cross-section of the hollow motor output shaft. One motor surface includes a male or female coupling perpendicular to the surface.
