The magnet wires are at least partially encased in thermally conductive plastic. When the thermally conductive plastic is molded, a balancing feature is formed of the thermally conductive plastic. In aspects, the balancing feature can include a layer of the plastic from which plastic can be removed during balancing; one or more balancing rings adjacent axial sides of the lamination stack from which plastic can be removed to balance the armature; or one or more balancing rings having one or more pockets therein in which one or more weights are disposed to balance the armature.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Hung T. Du, Richard T. Walter
