<p>An electric motor comprises: a stator iron core formed in a cylindrical shape and having a plurality of teeth provided on an inner circumferential surface at regular intervals in a circumferential direction; first and second insulators that include outer frame portions extending outward at one end facing the inner circumferential surface of the stator iron core and that sandwich the plurality of teeth from both sides in an axial center direction of the stator iron core; a coil wound on the first and second insulators; and a rotor provided inside the stator iron core so as to be freely rotatable about the axial center of the stator iron core. The first and second insulators include overlapping portions where end portions of the first and second insulators including the outer frame portions overlap each other when the plurality of teeth are sandwiched from both sides, and a thick portion lying in front of the overlapping portion of one of the outer frame portions of the first and second insulators and having a greater thickness than the outer frame portion.</p>
