Patent number: 8850690Abstract: A method of manufacturing an armature for an electric motor, includes: placing a commutator and a lamination stack on an armature shaft, winding magnet wire in slots in the lamination stacks to form coils, attaching ends of the magnet wire to the commutator, and molding plastic around the magnet wire and around the shaft of the armature at ends of the lamination stack. A spinning inertia of the armature is adjusted by adjusting at least one of a mass of the plastic molded and a distribution of the plastic molded. Alternatively and/or additionally, at least one of a resonant frequency and critical speed of the armature is adjusted by adjusting at least one of a geometry of the plastic molded, the physical properties of the plastic and the mechanical properties of the plastic.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Hung T. Du, Brandon L. Verbrugge, Joshua F. West, Michael R. Sell, Richard T. Walter, David J. Smith, Earl M. Ortt, John C. Stone, Howard T. White

Publication number: 20140285038Abstract: A motor includes a motor assembly, an end cap, a flexible insulating sleeve, and a flexible enclosure. The motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor, and wiring connected to the stator. The end-cap is coupled to the motor assembly to produce first sub-assembly. In addition, the end-cap includes an electrical fitting for feeding the wiring externally of the motor. The flexible insulating sleeve fits over at a least a portion the first sub-assembly to produce a second sub-assembly. The flexible enclosure includes a formed housing section and a connecting section. The formed housing section loosely fits over the second sub-assembly prior to tightening of the connecting section and, when the connecting section is tightened, the formed housing section tightly fits over the second sub-assembly compressing the flexible insulating sleeve to produce an insulating seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Applicant: BISON GEAR & ENGINEERING CORP.Inventors: Matthew Sherman Hanson, George Thomas, Gary Dorough, Jeff Hamaker, Edmund Peter Henke, Jr., Sanel Tatar
