Electric motors and machines including such electric motors, the electric motors having improved impact resistance. Features of the electric motors minimize axial shifting of the motor shaft and other components of the electric motor, and/or minimize damage to components caused by such axial shifting occasioned by an impact force on the motor.

Impact resistant electric motor

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.

Insertable brush holder assembly for electric motor

An improved electric motor casing is disclosed. The end casing includes a circular end plate and perpendicular peripheral side wall with a plurality of rectangular, internally projecting lands formed in the side wall. Each land defines a linear ledge with the plurality of linear ledges disposed in the same plane to receive and support the electric motor stator. The casing is formed by drawing a flat metal blank into the end plate and perpendicular side wall, with the plurality of rectangular lands drawn substantially simultaneously with formation of the end plate and perpendicular side wall.
