  • Method of assembling brushless electric motors
    Patent number: 4934041
    Abstract: A method of assembling brushless electric motors the steps of forming stator-printed circuit board assemblies from an array of printed circuit boards each having at least one integral portion extending from a printed circuit board surface for establishing the interrelationship between the printed board and at least one another motor component, such as the stator. The present method also locates the commutation circuit triggering sensor with great precision and is readily adapted to automation.

  • Brushless electric motor
    Patent number: 4910420
    Abstract: A novel brushless electric motor is characterized by a printed circuit board having at least one integral portion extending from the printed circuit board plane for establishing the interrelationship between the printed circuit board and another motor component. The present motor has a more precisely located triggering sensor for the commutation circuit and is readily adapted to automated assembly by the use of the present printed circuit board.
