In a 4-pole, 6-slot, 18-segment electric motor, one forward winding coil (91) and two reverse winding coils (92, 93) are wound on each tooth (12). When the forward winding coils are formed of coils corresponding to a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase and the reverse winding coils are formed of coils corresponding to a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase, the coils, which correspond to a U phase, a W phase, a W phase, a V phase, a U phase, a U phase, a W phase, a V phase, and a V phase, are electrically connected in this order between the adjacent segments. When the number of turns of the coils (91) corresponding to a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase is denoted by T1, the number of turns of the coils (92), which correspond to a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase and first come into sliding contact with a brush, is denoted by T2, and the number of turns of the coils (93), which correspond to a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase and later come into sliding contact with the brush, is denoted by T3, T2>T1>T3 is satisfied.

An armature includes an armature core, teeth, a commutator, concentrated winding wires, and distributed winding wires. Each of the teeth includes a first branch portion and a second branch portion. Each of segments in the commutator has a riser. A start end and a terminal end of the concentrated winding wire are pulled out separately in a direction getting closer to the commutator and in a direction away from the commutator. The conductor between the concentrated winding wires is hooked by the riser by which the conductor between the other concentrated winding wires is not hooked. A start end and a terminal end of the distributed winding wire are pulled out separately in a direction getting closer to the commutator and in a direction away from the commutator. The conductor between the distributed winding wires is hooked by the riser by which at least one of the conductor between the concentrated winding wires and the conductor between the other distributed winding wires is not hooked.

A wire material is hooked to a commutator segment and a commutator segment to form an equalizing line therebetween, and the wire material is wound in a distributed manner between a slot and a slot to form a main winding. Subsequently, the wire material is hooked to a commutator segment and a commutator segment to form an equalizing line therebetween, and the wire material is wound in a distributed manner between a slot and a slot to form a main winding. As described above, a process of forming the equalizing line and a process of forming the main winding are repeated while changing the commutator segment to which hooking is to be performed and the slot in which the main winding is to be formed until the number of times of hooking to one commutator segment becomes the same number for all the commutator segments and the number of times the main winding is formed in one slot becomes the same number for all the slots.
