Abstract:
1. A brush motor comprising: a stator having a permanent magnet for forming a field magnet; a rotor in which rotor windings are wound around a rotor core; feeding brushes; a commutator through which a current is supplied to the rotor windings, the commutator sliding on the feeding brushes; and a Hall element provided for detecting a change in the field magnet occurring in correspondence with a change in the rotational position of the rotor core, wherein the permanent magnet is formed into an annular shape whose inner peripheral surface opposes an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core, a circumferentially attaching position of the Hall element is set in the vicinity of a central position of a magnetic pole of the permanent magnet, an axial length of the permanent magnet is set to be longer than that of the rotor core, the permanent magnet is made to jut out from an axial end face of the rotor core on a side where the commutator is disposed, and the attaching position of the Hall element is set on an inner peripheral side of the jutting-out portion.
