  • Publication number: 20050191178
    Abstract: An assembly including an electric motor, a load, and a retainer. The electric motor can include a shaft that defines a first cross-section that is non-circular and substantially normal to the shaft axis. The load can include a rotating member that defines a bore and first and second apertures in communication with the bore. The bore can be configured to receive at least a portion of the shaft. An opening of the bore can be fully enclosed by a continuous portion of the rotating member. A portion of the bore can define a second cross-section that is non-circular and that corresponds to at least a portion of the first cross-section. The retainer can extend through the first and second apertures and engage the shaft and thereby substantially prevent axial movement of the shaft relative to the rotating member during normal operation of the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20050023912
    Abstract: An electric motor including a single end frame, a stator, a shaft, a rotor, and a canopy. The stator includes a stator core, a first end fixed relative to the end frame, and a second end. The shaft is supported by the end frame for rotation about a shaft axis. The rotor is connected to the shaft for rotation with the shaft relative to the stator. The canopy is configured to cover at least a portion of the rotor and the second end of the stator during normal operation of the electric motor. A portion of the stator core is exposed between the end frame and the canopy at all times during normal operation of the electric motor.
