[0025] A first threaded section is provided at one end of the motor shaft 3, and a second threaded section is provided on the inner wall of the bearing retaining ring 12. The motor shaft 3 is screwed to the bearing retaining ring 12 through the cooperation of the first threaded section and the second threaded section. A third threaded section is provided on the encoder rotor 11, and the encoder rotor 11 is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the bearing retaining ring 12 through the third threaded section. The motor shaft 3, the bearing retaining ring 12, and the encoder rotor 11 are sequentially threadedly connected and fixed from the inside to the outside, and one end of the motor shaft 3 is flush with the ends of the encoder rotor 11 and the bearing retaining ring 12 respectively. The encoder rotor 11 is connected to the encoder 13, and the encoder 13 is limited on a ring-shaped convex platform on the bearing retaining ring 12. The function of the encoder 13 is to record the position, and a Hall sensor is provided on the encoder 13 to sense the alternating magnetic field generated by the stator 4.
