  • Publication number: 20190157939
    Abstract: An end shield for an electric machine having a rotational axis includes a plate portion, a circumferential bearing retainer extending axially from the plate portion, and an inner hub coupled to the plate portion and spaced radially inward from the bearing retainer to define a circular groove therebetween. The end shield also includes a pair of boundary walls extending between the bearing retainer and the inner hub across the circular groove such that the pair of boundary walls separate the circular groove into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is configured to receive a supply of grease therein.

  • Patent number: 8502436
    Abstract: An electro-dynamic machine including a rotor shaft extending along an axis and a bearing rotatably supporting the rotor shaft for rotation about the axis. An inner housing has an outer surface and defines a bearing bore. The bearing bore receives and supports the bearing. An outer housing surrounds the inner housing. A plurality of non-radial ribs extends from the outer housing to the inner housing. The non-radial ribs are coupled to the inner housing substantially tangential to the outer surface.

  • Publication number: 20120205999
    Abstract: An end frame for an electro-dynamic machine. The end frame includes a radial bearing support surface disposed concentrically about the axis and an axial bearing support surface substantially perpendicular to the axis. A base wall is substantially perpendicular to the axis. A first annular wall is disposed concentrically about the axis and extends from the base wall to the axial bearing support surface. A second annular wall is disposed radially outward of the first annular wall and cooperates therewith to define an annular space that extends from the base wall to the axial bearing support surface. A first boundary wall extends across the annular space from the base wall to the axial bearing support surface. A metering wall extends across the annular space a portion of a distance from the base wall to the axial bearing support surface.
