Abstract: A packaged circuit module. In one embodiment, the packaged circuit module includes an X2Y device having first and second ground terminals, a positive terminal, and a negative terminal. The packaged circuit module also includes a first interface terminal, a second interface terminal, and a bracket. The first interface terminal electrically connects to the positive terminal of the X2Y device and to a first terminal of a motor. The second interface terminal electrically connects to the negative terminal of the X2Y device and to a second terminal of a motor. The bracket connects the first and second ground terminals of the X2Y device and to a grounding structure.

Abstract: A gearbox housing assembly includes a first plate constructed of a rigid material and defining a first plane. A second plate of the gearbox housing assembly defines a second plane parallel to and spaced from the first plane. The second plate is constructed of a rigid material. A plurality of connectors couples the first plate and the second plate, with an interior space being defined between the first plate and the second plate. A mounting member is coupled to the second plate and has a mounting portion extending away from the interior space. The mounting member is distinct from the second plate to facilitate interchangeability of the mounting member.

Abstract: An EMI suppressive device. In one embodiment, the EMI suppressive device is electrically connected to an electric motor having a substantially non-conductive shroud and a conductive drive shaft. The EMI suppressive device includes a packaged circuit that suppresses electromagnetic interference and contains one or more signal terminals that connect to the electric motor and one or more ground terminals that connect to ground. The EMI suppressive device also includes a bracket that supports the packaged circuit and has one or more interfaces that interface with one or more of the one or more ground terminals of the packaged circuit, and a conductive element that contacts the shroud and electrically connects to the drive shaft to provide a path to ground.

Abstract: A motor housing assembly houses a motor having a casing defining an axial length and an output shaft extending from the casing. The assembly includes a housing defining a cavity with an open end for receiving the motor and a partially closed end opposite the open end. The housing has a length larger than the axial length of the casing such that the entire casing of the motor can be received within the cavity. The assembly further includes an end cap configured to substantially close the open end of the housing and retain the motor in the housing, a first isolator member configured to be sandwiched between the casing and the end cap to substantially isolate the motor from both the housing and the end cap, and a second isolator member configured to be sandwiched between the casing and the housing to substantially isolate the motor from the housing.
