An electric motor (2) includes a yoke (5) having a cylindrical magnet housing section (54) that houses a magnet (7), and a gear housing (23) having a cylindrical frame section (22) that houses at least a brush holder. One side of the yoke (5) is joined to the other side of the frame section (22), and a rotary shaft is housed in the magnet housing section (54) and the frame section (22) in an axial direction of the magnet housing section (54) and the frame section (22). A first axial length (F) is formed to be equal to or longer than a second axial length (Y), the first axial length (F) is an axial length of an outer wall of the frame section (22) that is formed substantially parallel to the rotary shaft, and the second axial length (Y) is an axial length of an outer wall of the magnet housing section (54) that is formed substantially parallel to the rotary shaft.
