An electric motor 1 includes: a shaft 3 formed of a magnetic member; a rotor 5 and a sensor target 21 that rotate integrally with the shaft 3; stators 7, 8 with an armature winding 6 and by its energization, generating a rotating magnetic field; a field magnet 9 sandwiched by the stators 7, 8 to magnetize the rotor 5; and a rotation sensor 20 placed in the side of the stators 7, 8 to determine a rotational position of the shaft 3. The rotation sensor 20 incorporates a sensor magnet that generates a magnetic field passing across a sensor target 21 and a sensor element that detects a magnetic flux of the sensor magnet that varies according to a rotational position of the sensor target 21, and is placed so that the magnetic flux direction of the sensor magnet is the same as that of the field magnet 9. |
