Abstract: A universally mountable motor comprises an armature and first and second bearing brackets fitted to the armature at opposite faces thereof respectively and spanning a bore formed therein. A rotor is fitted in the bore and is supported to rotate in the bore by bearings mounted in the bearing brackets. The bearing brackets are secured to the armature by bolts, each of which has a threaded end which projects from one of the brackets. The first bracket is formed with wings which extend parallel to one another on opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the rotor and are formed each with at least one undercut slot. A screw can be fitted in the slot with a threaded portion projecting from the bracket to receive a stand-off.

Abstract: A universally mountable motor comprises an armature having first and second opposite faces and defining a cylindrical bore. First and second bearing brackets which span the bore are secured to the armature at the first and second faces respectively. Bearings mounted in the brackets define a common axis of rotation which is coaxial with the bore. A rotor is fitted in the bore and is supported by the bearings to rotate in the bore. The first bracket is formed with wings which extend over the first face of the armature on opposite sides of the axis of rotation. Each wing is formed with an elongate retaining slot defining a central axis and having a first region whereby a mounting member can be removably inserted into the slot and at least first and second additional regions which are spaced apart along the central axis of the slot and into which the mounting member can be selectively displaced from the first region to be captively retained in one of the additional regions.
