  • Patent number: 8987961
    Abstract: A motor assembly for a fan for a radiator of a motor vehicle, has an electric motor with a stator and an outer rotor driving an impeller. A support connected to the stator has a plurality of arms for fixing to a carrier structure. A casing includes a basin-like container and a heat dissipater forming a cover for the container. The casing contains a circuit board carrying components of a control circuit connected to the motor. The container has retention attachments engaged in a snap-fitting manner in snap seats provided in the arms of the support in order to bring about relative prepositioning of the container with respect to the support before the heat dissipater is fixed to the support.
