Abstract
Abstract A motor comprises a rotary shaft, an oil impregnated sintered bearing rotatably supporting the rotary shaft, a bearing holder supporting the oil impregnated sintered bearing and a motor case. A lateral pressure device is provided to the rotary shaft which abrasively contacts the rotary shaft from a radial direction and provides a lateral pressure so that the rotary shaft is displaced in the radial direction. The lateral pressure device further comprises an inner ring made of an oil impregnated sintered member in which a through-hole abrasively contacts the rotary shaft from the radial direction is formed, an elastic member which provides a lateral pressure so that the rotary shaft is displaced in the radial direction and an outer ring which holds the elastic member and is fixed to the motor case.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A motor comprising: a rotary shaft; first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings each rotatably supporting said rotary shaft; first and second bearing holders supporting said first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings, respectively; a motor case; and lateral pressure means arranged between said first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings along said rotary shaft for abrasively contacting said rotary shaft from a radial direction and providing a lateral pressure so that said rotary shaft is displaced in said radial direction; said lateral pressure means comprising: an inner ring made of an oil impregnated sintered member in which a through-hole abrasively contacting said rotary shaft from the radial direction is formed, an elastic member which provides a lateral pressure so that said rotary shaft is displaced in said radial direction; and an outer ring which holds said elastic member and is fixed to said motor case.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A motor comprising: a rotary shaft; first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings each rotatably supporting said rotary shaft; first and second bearing holders supporting said first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings, respectively; a motor case; and lateral pressure means arranged between said first and second oil impregnated sintered bearings along said rotary shaft for abrasively contacting said rotary shaft from a radial direction and providing a lateral pressure so that said rotary shaft is displaced in said radial direction; said lateral pressure means comprising: an inner ring made of an oil impregnated sintered member in which a through-hole abrasively contacting said rotary shaft from the radial direction is formed, an elastic member which provides a lateral pressure so that said rotary shaft is displaced in said radial direction; and an outer ring which holds said elastic member and is fixed to said motor case.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The motor according to claim 1, wherein said inner ring and outer ring have respective centers and wherein the center of said inner ring is displaced from the center of said outer ring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The motor according to claim 2, wherein said lateral pressure given to said rotary shaft so as to displace said rotary shaft in said radial direction is added along a line which connects the centers of said inner ring and of said outer ring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The motor according to claim 1, wherein said elastic member is made of a monomer resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The motor according to claim 1, wherein said oil impregnated sintered member has a step formed therein to increase its bonding capability with said elastic member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
The motor according to claim 1, wherein said lateral pressure means is comprised of said outer ring, said inner ring made of said oil impregnated sintered member, and a flexible arm unit which connects said outer ring and inner ring.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A motor according to claim 6, wherein said elastic member is formed integral with said outer ring, and is engaged with said inner ring made of said oil impregnated sintered member.
