Abstract: An electronically commutated brushless motor including a motor housing, a bulge formed in a sidewall of the motor housing, and a capacitor assembly housed in the bulge. The capacitor assembly includes a capacitor printed circuit board (PCB) having a plurality of longitudinal edges and at least one capacitor mounted on the capacitor PCB. The bulge includes a plurality of channels located along an inside surface of a sidewall of the bulge, in which the longitudinal edges of the capacitor assembly are slideably inserted.

Abstract: An electronically commutated brushless motor including a housing for accurately angularly aligning a position sensor relative to a position of a stator. The housing includes an integrally formed bridge for precisely situating the position sensor within the bridge, and a plurality of integrally formed locating ribs formed on an internal surface of a circumferential wall portion of the housing for precisely angularly situating the stator within the housing. Since the locating ribs and the bridge are all integrally formed on the housing, this eliminates the possibility of angular misalignment of the position sensor relative the stator during assembly of the motor.

Abstract: A double insulated electronically commutated brushless motor for coupling to a gearbox of a motor driven product. The motor includes a first layer of electrical insulation that includes a plurality of insulating strips formed in the shape of stator slots and inserted into the stator slots before windings are wound in the stator slots. Additionally, the first layer of electrical insulation includes a plurality of insulating strips wedged between the winding and a mouth of the winding slots after the windings are inserted. The motor further includes a second layer of electrical insulation made up of an insulating tube pressed onto a shaft between the shaft and a rotor stack.
