The control circuitry of a brushless blower motor is mounted on the stator of the motor and is cooled during operation of the blower by a portion of the air moved by the blower. A rotor cup member which covers and protects the control circuitry has at least a pair of radially displaced openings formed therein, and air is conveyed through the openings due to an air pressure differential therebetween created by the movement of air by the blower.

A diaphragm pump comprises a diaphragm peripherally mounted in a housing to define a pump chamber and a gear chamber. A cam follower is reciprocably mounted in the gear chamber and secured to the diaphragm. A rotary cam-gear rotatably mounted in the gear chamber has an annular cam face engaging the cam follower to reciprocate the diaphragm when driven by an electric motor through a single stage reduction gear set. A compression spring located in the pump chamber expands the pump chamber and maintains the cam follower in engagement with the cam face.
