Abstract: The motor of an automotive cooling fan system is attached to a housing by either bayonet mount, screw mount, or axial-snap features on both motor and housing, as well as a cradle structure on the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tension-relief component for electrical leads (14)—particularly of an electric motor—provided with an insulation, having a capacitor (12) for suppression of electromagnetic interference, wherein a contact element (48) is provided that is in electrical contact with the capacitor (12), wherein a contacting of at least one lead (14) takes place in that the contact element (48) penetrates the insulation of the lead (14). The contacting of the lead (14) takes place preferably by means of a mandrel (48). The tension-relief component (10) comprises a retaining clip (26), by means of which the capacitor (12) is secured in the tension-relief component (10), while the mandrel (48) is inserted in the tension-relief component (10).

Abstract: A brush holder for mechanically commutated electric motors has a support plate, a shaft-like guiding container mounted on the support plate for guiding a sliding brush pressed by a spring force against the commutator of an electric motor. The guiding container has side walls extending transverse to the support plate and provided with legs. A pressing spring is formed as a strip-shaped flat spring and has end portions which are oppositely rolled to form rollers abutting against the legs of the guiding container on surfaces of the legs which face the commutator and also have a central portion arranged to load an end surface of the sliding brush facing away from the commutator.

Abstract: A small size electric motor has a housing having an opening, a heat conductive bearing shield arranged to close the opening, a commutating device provided with commutator brushes in the housing. The bearing shield has a first guiding wall and at least one second guiding wall arranged at a distance from one another for guiding the commutator brushes. A heat conductive isolating layer is located between the guiding walls and the commutator brushes which are guided on the guiding walls with a small play.
