  • Publication number: 20240072599
    Abstract: An electric power apparatus includes a main planar body having a circular opening that supports a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor. The motor includes a stator, a rotor, a motor spindle extending through the circular opening, a first end cap formed on a first side of the stator and mounted on the main planar body; and a second end cap formed on a second side of the stator and secured to the first end cap to form a substantially watertight seal around the stator and the rotor. A ratio of a maximum power output of the motor when powered by at least one battery pack to a height of the motor as measured from an upper surface of the main planar body to a top surface of the motor is greater than or equal to approximately 34 watts/mm.

  • Publication number: 20240072604
    Abstract: An electric motor is provided including a stator, a rotor, a motor spindle coupled to the rotor and extending along a center axis, a first end cap formed on a first side of the stator, a second end cap formed on a second side of the stator and secured to the first end cap to form a first compartment around the stator and the rotor, an electro-magnetic brake module disposed on a side of the second end cap opposite the stator and engaged with the motor spindle, and a motor cover mounted on the second end cap to form a second compartment around the electro-magnetic brake module. The first end cap, the second end cap, and the motor cover form a substantially watertight seal around the stator, the rotor, and the position sensor assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230344810
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, from one or more processing nodes, data representative of usage and inventory of one or more software assets by one or more industrial automation devices of an industrial automation system that are communicatively coupled to the one or more processing nodes, determining a data delta for the industrial automation system that represents differences between the software asset data and a previous iteration of the software asset data, encrypt the data delta for the industrial automation system, and transmit the encrypted data delta for the industrial automation system to a remote server.
