Abstract: A motor includes a shaft that extends along a rotational axis and an end frame that includes a first surface that is substantially normal to the axis. A first plurality of annular features are arranged concentrically about the rotational axis and coupled to the first surface. A fan is mounted to the rotating shaft and including a slinger portion and a second surface. A second plurality of annular features are arranged concentrically about the rotational axis and coupled to the second surface. The first plurality of annular features cooperate with the second plurality of annular features to form a non-contact seal between the fan and the end frame.

Abstract: A motor including a stator, a first connector portion, a selector, and a second connector portion. The stator has a first winding arrangement configured for a first voltage and a second winding arrangement configured for a second voltage different from the first voltage. The first connector portion is selectively connectable to each of the first winding arrangement and the second winding arrangement. The selector is movable between a first position in which the first connector portion is connected to the first winding arrangement, and a second position in which the first connector portion is connected to the second winding arrangement. The second connector portion is electrically connected to a power supply and selectively engageable with the first connector portion to provide power to one of the first winding arrangement and the second winding arrangement.

Abstract: A bearing lock clip for an electric motor is provided. A bearing lock clip is secured to an end frame of a motor and locks or unlocks a motor bearing in place in the end frame. The bearing lock clip is mounted for movement between a locked and an unlocked position. The bearing lock clip includes a tab which abuts an outside surface of the end frame. An attachment is provided to secure the lock clip to the end frame. As the attachment is rotated, the lock clip rotates until the tab abuts the outside surface of the end frame and, either, a part of the lock clip covers a part of the bearing, or no part of the lock clip covers any part of the bearing.
