  • Publication number: 20240048017
    Abstract: An end cap for electric motors, preferably for brushless motors, configured to be associated with one of such electric motors at the axial end opposite the output end of the motor shaft. The end cap is made as a single body and comprises a coupling seat for association with the electric motor in the axial direction and a housing for an electronic control unit, wherein such a housing extends from a perimeter portion of the coupling seat, in the axial direction and in the coupling direction of the coupling seat with the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 11646628
    Abstract: Motorized wheel structure includes a motor unit equipped with a stator case, a motor reduction unit operatively connected to the motor unit, and a fixing bracket for fastening the motorized wheel structure to an external device. The motorized wheel structure envisages that the motor reduction unit is equipped at one own end with a substantially circular coupling seat in which a first coupling area and a second coupling area are defined, the fixing bracket is equipped with an annular portion removably coupled in correspondence with the first coupling area of the coupling seat and the stator case is installed passing through the annular portion of the fixing bracket and is removably coupled in correspondence with the second coupling area of the coupling seat.

  • Patent number: 10186929
    Abstract: A brushless motor having a casing for containing a stator body and for a rotor with a driving shaft, an exit cap with an outlet for the driving shaft and a closure cap. The closure cap includes an output for power cables and is disposed opposite the exit cap and supports an electronic board for controlling the brushless motor. The closure cap further includes a recess for containing the electronic control board, which is defined so as to be recessed in an axial direction with respect to the outer surface of the cap.

  • Publication number: 20150357873
    Abstract: A motorized wheel includes an electric motor supported by a fixing bracket. The fixing bracket adapted to rotationally support, by way of elements for reducing the rotation rate, an internally hollow wheel that is contoured to least partly contain the electric motor and said-the rotation rate reduction elements. The electric motor further includes a stator casing, a dome, and a rotor which is internal to the stator casing. The stator is inserted in a corresponding complementarily shaped annular portion that extends from the bracket and is fixed to the bracket by interference.

  • Patent number: 7850131
    Abstract: The invention is a telescopic column (1) comprising: two or more tubular members (2; 3) telescopically engaging one inside the other; a drive unit (6) contained inside the tubular members (2; 3); a cover (4) attached to the end of the inner tubular member (3); a supporting plate (8) attached to the outside of the cover (4); a tubular rod (5) associated with the drive unit (6), installed inside the tubular members (2; 3) with its end (5a) associated with the cover (4); means (7) for controlling the extension and withdrawal of the tubular members (2; 3). During the withdrawal of the tubular rod (5) inside the tubular members (2; 3), a safety device (9) operatively connected to the control means (7) stops the drive unit (6) if a counteracting element (C) obstructs the lowering of the supporting plate (8).
