  • Publication number: 20130038156
    Abstract: A gear motor assembly includes a gearbox, a motor mounted to the gearbox, a first damper and a second damper. The gearbox includes a gearing casing and a worm gear installed in the gear casing. The motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a housing. The rotor includes a motor shaft and a worm integrally rotating with the shaft. The shaft extends into the gear housing and the worm is meshed with the worm gear. The first damper is sandwiched between the gear casing and a first end of the shaft, eliminating end play between the shaft and the gear casing. The second damper is sandwiched between the motor housing and a second end of the shaft, eliminating end play between the shaft and the motor housing.
