Abstract
A motor assembly broadly includes an electric motor and a clamp. The electric motor includes a motor housing and a shaft rotatably supported relative to the motor housing to rotate about a shaft axis, with part of the shaft being exposed relative to the motor housing. The motor housing includes a mounting base. The clamp is connected between the exposed part of the shaft and the mounting base. The clamp is selectively adjustable to apply a variable off-axis load to the exposed part of the shaft.
