Abstract: A motor includes a bearing having a rolling member disposed between an inner ring and an outer ring, a spring connected to the outer ring, and a pusher connected to the spring and configured to move to a first position spaced apart from the inner ring by the spring. The pusher is further configured to move to a second position at which friction with the inner ring is caused by a pressure of air. The inner ring is spaced apart from the rotating shaft by a gap between the inner ring and the rotating shaft when the pusher is at the second position.

Abstract: A fan motor includes a heat dissipation fin. The heat dissipation fin includes an outer ring part, an inner ring part disposed inside the outer ring part, and a connection part connecting the outer ring part and the inner ring part. The inner ring part is elastically deformed to be inclined in parallel to a rotational shaft which is inclined when axial alignment between bearings is not made. Accordingly, the heat dissipation fin can reduce a temperature of the bearing while enclosing the bearing, and improve concentricity (axial alignment) of the bearing.
