Abstract:
A motor capable of suppressing droplets of water generated due to condensation from adhering to electrical components inside a rotary encoder is provided. A motor includes: a motor main body having a rotating shaft member; and a rotary encoder, wherein the rotary encoder has a cover member, and an inner surface of the cover member has a first top surface formed having an inclined portion that is inclined relative to a horizontal direction so as to guide a droplet of water when the rotating shaft member is disposed to extend in a vertical direction, and/or a second top surface formed having an inclined portion that is inclined relative to a horizontal direction so as to guide a droplet of water when the rotating shaft member is disposed to extend in a horizontal direction.
