Abstract: A device (10) for mounting an electric motor (18), in particular a fan motor, includes an essentially pot-shaped receptacle housing (12)—functioning as motor housing (32)—with a receiving opening (14) into which at least part of the electric motor (18) extends. A holding flange (34) is attached to the receptacle housing (12) for mounting the motor housing (32) to a carrier element (36), e.g., a motor vehicle heater system and/or air conditioner. A mechanism for immobilizing the electric motor (18) radially and axially in the motor housing (32) is included. The receptacle housing (12) includes at least one resilient-elastic holding element (50, 52, 90) for axial immobilization.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for fixing an electromotor (18), in particular a fan motor. Said device comprises an essentially pot-shaped receiving housing (12), acting as a motor housing (32) with a receiving opening (14), into which the electromotor (18) at least partially projects and a retaining flange (34) mounted on the receiving housing (12) for fixing the motor housing (32) to a support element (36), for example a motor vehicle heating and/or air conditioning system, in addition to elements for radially and axially fixing the electromotor (18) in the motor housing (32). According to the invention, the receiving housing (12) has at least one elastic retaining element (50, 52, 90) for axial fixation. Said element is at least partially coated with an elastic material (66) on the side that faces the motor (18), is connected to the receiving housing (12) by its first axial end (54) and lies directly against the motor (18) in the vicinity of its second axial end (58).

Abstract: A clamp (20, 50) for balancing can be mounted on the circumference of a rotating body (10) on a part (12) that tapers to a thin-walled end. The clamps (20, 50) has a U-shaped cross-sectional profile with at least one tip (28, 30) formed onto one leg (24, 26), which tip protrudes into the interior (36) of the U-shaped cross-sectional profile and extends in inclined fashion toward the connecting part (32) of the legs (24, 26).

Abstract: A device is proposed for holding an electric motor which has a tubular housing portion enclosing the motor armature and supports which are associated with the motor housing are arranged at the end sides of the housing portion for the arrangement of bearings for the motor shaft. The motor is held in such a way that vibrations are minimized and noise is damped in that at least one resilient damping member is arranged between the inner walls of the holding device and the outer walls of the motor housing facing these inner walls. The damping member is supported at the walls of the holding device and motor housing which face one another.
