  • Bearing block cover, axial flux motor, elevator and method of compensating manufacturing tolerances in an axial flux motor
    Patent number: 10243423
    Abstract: An axial flux motor includes a first motor body part to which a stator including ferromagnetic stator cores and coils has been attached, a second motor body part attached to the first motor body part, a rotor including a number of magnets between the first and the second motor body parts, arranged against the stator in such a manner that an air gap remains between the rotor and the stator; and at least one bearing between the rotor and the stator. The axial flux motor further includes a bearing block cover attached to cover the bearing. A bearing block cover, elevator and a method of compensating manufacturing tolerances in an axial flux motor are also provided.
