Abstract: In one embodiment, the present technique relates to a motor having enhanced cooling. The exemplary motor includes a stator core that is formed of a plurality of stator laminations and that is, at least partially, a peripheral surface of the motor. Each stator lamination has a plurality of fins that extend radially outward. When assembled, the fins of adjacent laminations cooperate to form larger fins extending the length of the stator core. These fins enhance the cooling of the motor, by improving heat dissipation of the motor.
