Thus, in the connection between the commutator leg and the copper wire material of the small-sized motor, the reduction of defectives of breaking of the wire because of heat shock at the time of welding is achieved, and in the meantime, the stabilization of welding is achieved, so that the reliability of the connection can be increased.

Abstract: A spindle motor incorporates a shaft having a known outer diameter and a stator having a known inner diameter which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft so that it may slip over the shaft. Die cut sharp features are defined in the inner diameter of the stator laminations. These features extending radially inward from the generally circular inner diameter of the stator laminations so that these features establish an interference fit with the outer surface of the shaft which the structure is mounted. When the stack is pressed onto the outer surface of the shaft to which it is mounted and supported, the coating on the stack will scrape off, thus establishing a metal-to-metal contact between the stack and the adjoining outer surface of the shaft. As a result of this, a tight interference fit will be established between the inner surface of the stack and the outer surface of the shaft, thus both radially fixing the stack on the shaft, and grounding the stack to the shaft.

Abstract: An electric motor having an armature which includes a coating of thermally conductive plastic applied in a conventional injection molding process. The armature also includes a fan which is integrally formed from the thermally conductive plastic applied to the armature. This completely eliminates the need to apply one or more coatings of a trickle resin to the armature. It also eliminates the need to separately form and secure a fan by a suitable adhesive to the armature, which together significantly simplifies the manufacturing and cost of the armature. The plastic coating also better fills the spaces between the magnet wires, thus promoting even more efficient cooling and better holding of the magnet wires stationary relative to one another. The thermally conductive plastic coating may be mixed with other suitable materials to provide a density approximately equal to the magnet wires. This eliminates the need to balance the armature after the injection molding step.
