Patent number: 11955863Abstract: A motor assembly includes a stator having a stator core, stator windings, and a routing insulator configured to electrically insulate the stator core from the stator windings; a rotor rotatably received within the stator; and a bearing bridge received at least partially within the routing insulator and including a main body forming a center pocket arranged to support a bearing of the rotor shaft. A circuit board is provided including a circuit board, and an overmold structure forming an annular body on a surface of the circuit board arranged to mate with the main body of the bearing bridge to substantially seal the center pocket from ingress of debris particles.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Dustin Jefferies, David J. Smith, Marcus E. E. Rydin, Justin H. Ayers, Sumiteru Mori, Kristopher Cochran

Patent number: 11855521Abstract: A power tool is provided including a housing including a grip portion; and a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor at least partially disposed within the grip portion of the housing. The motor includes a stator having a rotor core, a rotor, and front and rear bearing support structures. The stator core includes a non-segmented construction with a maximum diameter of approximately smaller than or equal to 34 mm, and a ratio of a motor size (Km) constant of the motor to a length of the motor is in the range of approximately 0.39 to 0.59 (Nmm/?W)/mm. When powered by a 20 V battery pack, a ratio of a maximum power output of the motor to a volume of the motor is at least approximately 0.0106 W/mm{circumflex over (?)}3.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: BLACK & DECKER, INC.Inventors: Dustin Jefferies, David J.
