A stator for an electric motor includes a stator core including a yoke and a plurality of arms extending radially from the yoke. The stator includes an end piece secured to a radial end of each arm of the stator core. The stator core has a length defined along a longitudinal axis of the stator, and each end piece has a length defined along the longitudinal axis of the stator. The length of each end piece is greater than the length of the stator core.

Stator for an electric motor including separately formed end pieces and associated method

A stator for an electric motor that includes a plurality of stacked laminations and a polymeric shell coupled to the plurality of laminations. Each lamination includes an annular plate having a plurality of notches defined therein. Each notch has an end positioned between the side walls of the annular plate. A plurality of teeth extend from one side wall of the annular plate. Each lamination includes a first slot defined at the first end of each notch and a second slot spaced apart from the first slot, the first slots of the laminations are aligned to define a first plurality of passageways, the second slots of the laminations are aligned to define a second plurality of passageways, and the polymeric shell includes a plurality of support beams that extend through the first plurality of passageways and the second plurality of passageways.
