  • Patent number: 10320259
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a motor, which begins with robotically positioning a flexible insulating sleeve over a first motor sub-assembly to produce a second motor sub-assembly. The first motor sub-assembly includes a motor assembly and an end-cap. The motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor, and wiring connected to the stator. The end-cap includes an electrical fitting for feeding the wiring externally of the motor. The method continues with robotically positioning a flexible enclosure, that includes a formed housing section and a connecting section, loosely over the second motor sub-assembly. The method continues with tightening the connecting section until the formed housing section tightly fits over the second sub-assembly compressing the flexible insulating sleeve to produce an insulating seal.

  • Patent number: 10170955
    Abstract: A motor includes a motor assembly, an end cap, a flexible insulating sleeve, and a flexible enclosure. The motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor, and wiring connected to the stator. The end-cap is coupled to the motor assembly to produce first sub-assembly. In addition, the end-cap includes an electrical fitting for feeding the wiring externally of the motor. The flexible insulating sleeve fits over at a least a portion the first sub-assembly to produce a second sub-assembly. The flexible enclosure includes a formed housing section and a connecting section. The formed housing section loosely fits over the second sub-assembly prior to tightening of the connecting section and, when the connecting section is tightened, the formed housing section tightly fits over the second sub-assembly compressing the flexible insulating sleeve to produce an insulating seal.

  • Patent number: 10065249
    Abstract: A universal driven shaft retaining system includes a collet chuck holder that circumferentially engages a collet chuck with substantially inward compression during inward co-linear movement of a drawing bar creating a clamping (locking) effect on an inserted driven shaft.

  • Patent number: 9929613
    Abstract: A motor includes a rotor and a stator. The stator is operable to electromagnetically induce movement of the rotor and includes stator teeth and a motor-board. A stator tooth includes a core material, a plurality of winding segments, and a bobbin. The bobbin includes a core receptacle for mechanically engaging the core material, radial-orientated sections to support and electrically isolate the winding segments, and connectors for electrically coupling the winding segments. The motor-board includes electrical receptacles for electrically mating with the connectors for each of the winding segments and traces for coupling the winding segments to a power source.
