The stator including a magnetic core and upper and lower insulating members to cover upper and lower surfaces of the magnetic core, respectively. At least one of the upper and lower insulating members has a ring-shaped flange, which extends inward from the inner circumferential surface thereof. The flange has a plurality of first mounting holes and the bearing housing has a plurality of second mounting holes corresponding to the first mounting holes, respectively, whereby the stator is bolted to the bearing housing. The flange has a positioning protrusion extending upward, and the bearing housing has a positioning groove formed at a rim thereof such that the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove. The flange is positioned at the bearing housing while the first mounting holes of the flange are aligned with the second mounting holes of the bearing housing, respectively.
