A stator has a core, an insulating member that covers the core, windings that are wound around the insulating member, and conductive members that supply drive power to the windings. The conductive member has a joining part that contacts a lower surface of the insulating member, an insertion part that rises axially upward from one end of the joining part, and a board connection part that descends axially downward from the other end of the joining part. The insertion part penetrates through the insulating member and protrudes at the top of the stator, where it is connected to a coil end. The board connection part is fixed, by a method such as press-fitting, to a circuit board on which a Hall element or the like is mounted.
A capacitive proximity sensor of the present invention principally comprises a sensor electrode, a sensor circuit, a detection circuit, and a microcomputer. The sensor circuit has an LC parallel circuit and an LC series resonant circuit. Furthermore, the single sensor electrode is connected in parallel with the LC parallel circuit. By decreasing the drive voltage applied to the sensor electrode, the radiated noise generated by the sensor electrode is also decreased. In addition, foot detection sensitivity can be improved by amplifying the detection signal with the LC series resonant circuit.

A cover member has a cylinder in the center of a cover part. A second sliding bearing is fastened to the cylinder. A rotary shaft protrudes upward from the cylinder without contact with the second sliding bearing. A first sliding bearing is a main bearing, which can radially support the rotary shaft, and the second sliding bearing is an auxiliary bearing which, when the rotary shaft is subjected to a load from the radial direction, bears that load in the radial direction together with the first sliding bearing. When the angle of inclination of the rotary shaft in the first sliding bearing is not maximal, the rotary shaft is supported only by the first sliding bearing, without the rotary shaft contacting the inside of the second sliding bearing. The amount of deformation of the rotary shaft when a load is applied to the rotary shaft from the radial direction and the rotary shaft first makes contact with the second sliding bearing is in a range from 0 to the maximum elastic deformation.
