An electric motor includes: a control board including circuitry for controlling the electric motor; a cover with an interior space; and a sensor device coupled to the motor and extending into an external environment, the sensor device being thermally isolated from the interior space of the cover and including a sensor configured to measure at least one environmental characteristic of the external environment.

Motor with integrated environmental sensor(s)

An electrical motor includes a sleeve, a rotational assembly located in the sleeve, and a shaft rotatably mounted about an axis extending longitudinally through the sleeve. The motor also includes an endcap, and a brake mechanism located about the axis of the shaft, the brake mechanism including a spring and a first bushing, wherein the spring forces the first bushing against the endcap to create a static frictional torque between the first bushing and the endcap when the motor is in an off state.

Brake mechanism for electric motor

A brush holder assembly for an electrical motor includes a brush box including a main body and a cover portion, the main body with a cavity and including a set of first arms extending in opposition from the main body. The cover portion includes a set of second arms extending in opposition from the cover portion, and a set of projections extending in opposition to one another from the cover portion. Each of the set of first arms and a respective one of the set of second arms define a channel therebetween sized to receive a portion of a sleeve of the electric motor. The assembly also includes a cover that is coupled to the cover portion of the brush box, a brush located in the cavity of the brush box, and a spring positioned against the brush to force the brush towards a commutator of the electric motor.
