Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor is provided that is capable of eliminating the need to prepare (develop, manufacture, or possess) motor bodies and rotary encoders of multiple different specifications by facilitating connections to motor bodies or rotary encoders having different contact positions. In a motor 1 including a motor body and a rotary encoder, the motor body includes a motor body side connector with a motor body side contact and the rotary encoder includes a rotary encoder side connector with a rotary encoder side contact. The motor body side contact 2 and the rotary encoder side contact are electrically connected. One or both of the motor body side contact and the rotary encoder side contact have a shape extending in a radial direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A motor comprising a motor body and a rotary encoder, wherein the motor body includes a motor body side connector with a motor body side contact, the rotary encoder includes a rotary encoder side connector with a rotary encoder side contact, the motor body side contact and the rotary encoder side contact are electrically connected, and one or both of the motor body side contact and the rotary encoder side contact have a shape extending in a radial direction, thereby including a structure for connecting the motor body side contact from among multiple positions in the radial direction. 2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary encoder side contact has the shape extending in the radial direction, and the rotary encoder side connector further includes a printed plate contact to be electrically connected to a printed plate, and the motor includes a structure for connecting the printed plate contact and the printed plate at a position selectable in the radial direction. 3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary encoder side contact has a shape extending in the radial direction, the rotary encoder side connector further includes a printed plate contact to be electrically connected to a printed plate, and the rotary encoder side contact has a shape extending inwardly or outwardly in the radial direction, in relation to the printed plate contact, when viewed in an axis direction. 4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary encoder side contact has a shape extending in the radial direction, having a width in a tangential direction, and a length of the rotary encoder side contact in the radial direction is greater than a length of the width of the rotary encoder side contact in the tangential direction.
