Abstract: A motor includes a heatsink, an electronics board, a heat-generating component mounted to the electronics board, and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes an insert and a fixation element. The insert is at least in part disposed between the electronics board and the heat-generating component. The insert defines a fixation element-receiving opening. The fixation element is at least in part received in the fixation element-receiving opening, such that the insert at least in part positions and supports the fixation element. The fixation element secures the heat-generating component relative to the heatsink such that the heat-generating component is secured in thermal communication with the heatsink.

Abstract: A motor includes a heatsink, an electronics board, an interchangeable heat-generating component mounted to the electronics board, and an interchangeable spacing insert at least in part disposed between the electronics board and the interchangeable heat-generating component. The electronics board presents a board surface facing the heatsink. The interchangeable heat-generating component presents a heatsink-facing surface and a board-facing surface. The board-facing surface is spaced from the board surface by an offset distance. The interchangeable spacing insert engages each of the board surface and the board-facing surface to maintain the offset distance therebetween and position the heatsink-facing surface relative to the heat sink.

Abstract: A motor includes a controller can, a controller, and potting material encasing at least a portion of the controller. The controller includes a primary electronics board, a plurality of primary electronics components mounted to the primary electronics board, a plurality of secondary electronics components, and a potting shield. The controller can and the potting shield at least in part define a controller chamber including a primary chamber portion and a secondary chamber portion. The primary electronics components are at least substantially located in the primary chamber portion. The secondary electronics components are at least substantially located in the secondary chamber portion. The potting shield is disposed between the primary and secondary chamber portions.

Abstract: A spacing-assured gas discharge tube assembly is installed on a printed circuit board, which may be part of a motor controller. The discharge tube assembly includes a tube body and an electrostatic spacing shield disposed at least partially around the tube body. The shield is configured to prevent close physical proximity of adjacent structures having electrostatic fields that may alter the breakdown voltage of the tube body.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes a stator body and a generally toroidal stator ring. The stator body includes a core and a plurality of electrically conductive wires wound about the core. Each of the electrically conductive wires includes a first wire end projecting from the stator body at a predetermined first wire end location. The stator ring defines a plurality of arcuately spaced apart first terminal pockets, each configured to receive a wire-connecting terminal. The stator ring is oriented relative to the stator body such that the first terminal pockets are disposed in predetermined first terminal pocket positions correlating to the predetermined first wire end locations. Each of the first wire ends extends into a respective one of the first terminal pockets.
