The motor includes a rotor, a casing that receives the rotor and has the bearing box in which the bearing rotatably supporting a shaft of the rotor is received, an annular wave washer that is arranged between the bottom surface of the bearing box and the bearing, and applies a preload to the outer race of the bearing, and an annular spacer that is arranged between the bottom surface of the bearing box and the bearing so as to be in abutment with the wave washer for adjusting the preload applied to the outer race.

Abstract: An apparatus is described for thermomechanical decoupling of the housing and stationary part of a rotating machine, in particular of a dynamoelectric machine. The apparatus has at least one rotating shell, and in that this apparatus can on the one hand be attached to the housing and on the other hand to the stationary part, such that the rotating shell extends in the axial direction even in the mounted state. This results in centred bearing, which is stiff against lateral movement of the stationary part, in particular of the laminated core, while providing little impediment to the thermal growth of the stationary part.

Abstract: A two-pole off-set construction of an electric motor has winding portion laminations and rotor portion laminations which are separate so that the winding may be formed or placed on the winding portion and then the two portions of the stator interconnected to complete the flux path for the rotor circumscribed by a rotor aperture in the rotor portion. There must be a window space between these two portions to accommodate the winding on the winding portion and formerly the metal removed from this window space was scrap metal, necessitating an excessive amount of steel lamination material. In this invention, the layer of lamination is made in two complementary pieces and this layer has a rotor portion and a winding portion. The two separate lamination pieces for a layer of complete lamination are to permit the winding to be placed on this complete stator.
