Abstract: An overload protection for electric motors, includes a one-piece suppression choke in which the connecting point to be broken is produced by means of at least one connecting point between the connection lug of the motor and a respective connecting element of the suppression choke, wherein the connection lug exerts an adjustable mechanical stress on the connecting point, thus reliably assuring a break when the softening temperature of the solder of the breaking point is reached.

Abstract: A suppression choke as an overload protection for electric motors according to the prior art is divided in two at a connecting point, which is intended to break in the event of an overload. This produces an additional connecting point by means of soldering. The mechanical stress on the connecting point to be broken often cannot assure a breaking of the connecting point due to the insufficient mechanical initial stress of the windings of the choke.

Abstract: A bearing plate for a commutator machine according to the related art is made of metal and comprises an applied brush holder made of plastic. Connector elements for electrical components on the brush holder are inserted in corresponding receptacles in the brush holder in a separate working step, however. In the bearing plate (1) according to the invention, the connector elements (4, 8, 11) are formed out of the bearing plate and are partially connected to the bearing plate (1), thereby reducing the number of parts to be installed as well as the production expense.

Abstract: A small commutator motor (1), in particular a blower motor for motor vehicles, has a rotor shaft (2) rotatably mounted in at least one rotor bearing (12) in a motor housing (8, 9). A commutator (18) and an armature winding (21) electrically connected with the commutator (18) are arranged on the rotor shaft (2) so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it. Further, brush guides (11) for receiving brushes (16) held in sliding contact at the commutator (18) and an end shield (10) which fixes the first rotor bearing (12) in place are provided. The end shield (10) and the brush guides (11) are formed as a one-piece structural component part which is a component part of the motor housing (8, 9) as a first motor housing part (8).
