What are the potential long-term benefits of using this outer rotor type motor in various applications? - The motor's improved efficiency and longevity can lead to cost savings and increased reliability in different industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
An outer rotor type motor includes a motor substrate, a stator provided on the motor substrate, a rotor mounted with a rotational shaft, and a cover provided on an outside of the rotor in a radial direction of the rotor and an axial direction of a rotational shaft. The cover covers the motor. A first opening is formed on a central portion, in the radial direction, of a first portion of the cover opposing a part on which the rotational shaft of the rotor is mounted in the axial direction. An air is sucked inside of the cover from an outside of the cover through the first opening by rotation of the rotor, and the air sucked is discharged to the outside of the cover through a second opening formed on a position away from the first opening in the axial direction.
