Patent number: 10563654Abstract: A pump-motor combination includes a motor (30) and a pump (20). The pump has a first rotor (21) and a first housing 300). The motor is an electric motor (30) having a second rotor (31), a stator (33) and a second housing (32). The first (pump) rotor (21) is at least partially coupled, and the second (motor) rotor (31) is completely coupled, to a common rotating shaft (40) in order to enable transmission of rotation of the second (motor) rotor (31) to the first (pump) rotor (21). The pump-motor combination can be installed with the gearbox (G) or transmission of a motor vehicle, to assure supply of lubricant (360) when a primary lubricant pump (350) has not been operating, for example, upon start-up. Use of the common shaft (40) minimizes frictional losses during operation and reduces the cost of manufacture, since fewer bearings are needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 10454335Abstract: A motor housing for an electric motor has a generally cylindrical housing shell (10), which, at one end (26), accommodates a first bearing and a housing cover module (12) such that the housing cover module (12) closes an opposing, open end of the housing shell (10), and serves as a second bearing. The cover module (12) is preferably of metal material and is integrally formed with a plurality of projecting tab and/or arm portions (14, 16, 18). Around the housing shell (10), several recesses or slots (20) are formed, flanked by deformable elements (30,32). By axially applying a tool (60), the deformable elements are deformed to secure the tabs (14, 16, 18) within the slots (20) and to thereby connect the shell (10) and the cover module (12) axially together. The resulting structure is highly resistant to vibrational decoupling, and can readily be obtained by high-speed automated production steps.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co.
