The side wall of a motor casing is formed into a quadrangular shape such that four flat side portions, and arcuate corner portions located at respective corners are continuously joined together. A field magnet having a quadrangular external shape is formed such that four flat side portions, and four arcuate corner portions located at respective corners are continuously joined together. The arcuate corner portions of the motor casing and the arcuate corner portions of the field magnet extend along respective circles having a center located at the center of a motor shaft, and the central angles of the arcuate corner portions fall within a range of 15° to 35° inclusive. The field magnet is press-fitted or bonded into the motor casing such that the corner portions of the field magnet come into close contact with the corner portions of the motor casing.
