Abstract:
A drive apparatus is provided which includes a motor and a control unit equipped with a cover, a heat sink, a substrate on which electronic devices are mounted. The heat sink is secured to the cover. The control unit is joined to a housing of the motor only through the cover or the heat sink. The production of the drive apparatus is achieved by fabricating the motor and then assembling the cover, which has already been fabricated with the substrate with the electronic devices and the heat sink in the sub-manufacturing line, with the housing of the motor. The drive apparatus is, therefore, produced in two main manufacturing processes, thus resulting in a decrease in manufacturing processes by one as compared with a conventional structure in which a substrate on which electronic devices are mounted or a heat sink to which the substrate is attached is joined to a motor.

Claim (Index 4):
A drive apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the housing has a contact surface attached to the cover, a connection to of the motor with the control unit extending outside the contact surface of the housing toward the control unit, and wherein the cover has a contact surface attached to the housing, a connection of the control unit with the motor extending outside the contact surface of the cover toward the motor.
