    Abstract: A base member includes a recessed portion extending in radial directions and recessed upward from a lower surface of the base member and a hole extending through the recessed portion in the vertical direction. The recessed portion includes a recessed portion loop-shaped surface defining a loop-shaped surface in the radial direction. A connector is located on a lower side of the recessed portion to cover the hole portion. An adhesive is located between the connector and the recessed portion. A minimum value of a gap distance in the radial direction between an outer end of the connector and an inner end of the recessed portion in which the outer end of the connector and the inner end of the recessed portion are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween is greater than a minimum value of a gap in the vertical direction distance between an upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface, in which the upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween. The adhesive includes an inorganic filler.

    Abstract: A base member includes a recessed portion arranged to extend in radial directions and recessed upward from a lower surface of the base member, the radial directions being directions perpendicular to a vertical direction; and a hole portion arranged to pass through the recessed portion in the vertical direction. The recessed portion includes a recessed portion loop-shaped surface being a loop-shaped surface perpendicular to the vertical direction. A connector is arranged on a lower side of the recessed portion to cover the hole portion. An adhesive is arranged between the connector and the recessed portion. A minimum value of a gap distance between an outer end of the connector and an inner end of the recessed portion in a radial direction in which the outer end of the connector and the inner end of the recessed portion are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween is greater than a minimum value of a gap distance between an upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface in the vertical direction, in which the upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween.

    Abstract: A drive device includes a motor, an output part outputting torque to the outside, a gear part transmitting torque of the motor to the output part, and a housing having an internal space. The gear part includes at least one gear shaft extending in an axial direction, to which at least one gear is fixed, and a gear case accommodating the gear. The gear case includes a wall part facing an outer circumferential surface of the accommodated gear in a radial direction and extending in a circumferential direction and an opening adjacent to the wall part in the circumferential direction and penetrating in the radial direction. The opening faces the housing in the radial direction, and in a rotation direction of the gear, the wall part includes a front end disposed on a front side of the opening and adjacent to the opening. The front end contacts the housing.

    Abstract: A cup portion of a base member includes a cylindrical portion and a bottom plate portion. The cylindrical portion is arranged to be coaxial or substantially coaxial with a central axis extending in a vertical direction. The bottom plate portion is defined integrally with the cylindrical portion, and is arranged to close a lower portion of the cylindrical portion. A bearing mechanism is arranged inside of the cup portion. An outer circumferential surface of the bearing mechanism and an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion have an adhesive layer arranged therebetween. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a communicating hole passing through the cylindrical portion in a direction that crosses an axial direction is defined in the vicinity of a junction of the cylindrical portion and the bottom plate portion. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base member includes a communicating hole passing through the bottom plate portion in the axial direction.

    Abstract: A base member includes a recessed portion arranged to extend in radial directions and recessed upward from a lower surface of the base member, the radial directions being directions perpendicular to a vertical direction or directions parallel to these directions; and a hole portion arranged to pass through the recessed portion in the vertical direction. The recessed portion includes a recessed portion loop-shaped surface being a loop-shaped surface perpendicular to the vertical direction. A connector is arranged on a lower side of the recessed portion to cover the hole portion. An adhesive is arranged between the connector and the recessed portion. A minimum value of a gap distance between an outer end of the connector and an inner end of the recessed portion in a radial direction in which the outer end of the connector and the inner end of the recessed portion are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween is greater than a minimum value of a gap distance between an upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface in the vertical direction, in which the upper surface of the connector and the recessed portion loop-shaped surface are opposed to each other with the adhesive therebetween.

    Abstract: A motor unit having a motor shaft, and a speed reduction mechanism connected to the motor shaft are included. The speed reduction mechanism includes a sun gear unit disposed on the motor shaft, planetary gear units meshing with the sun gear unit and arranged in the circumferential direction, a carrier at least a part of which surrounds the planetary gear units, and an output unit connected to the planetary gear units. The carrier includes a first cylindrical portion disposed outward of and above the sun gear unit and extending in the axial direction. The first cylindrical portion rotatably supports the output unit via a bearing, and the bearing is at least partly disposed radially inward of the radially outer end of the planetary gear unit.
