The DC motor according to the present invention includes one radial ball bearing and a thrust bearing constituted by a shaft receiving member provided on a housing to be abutted by one end of a rotating shaft. Further, a magnetic and/or a spring bias force is applied to the rotating shaft to supplement thrust load bearing force of the thrust bearing. Compared with conventional DC motors in which a rotor is supported by a shaft through a pair of ball bearings which are axially spaced apart from each other, the present invention enables reduction of the overall motor height without harming the rotational stability while simultaneously achieving low production cost.
