Abstract
A submersible-rated motor having a motor housing that encloses a stator and rotor and partially encloses a drive shaft. The motor has a terminal plate assembly, combined seal/bearing housing, rotating seal assembly, and drive-end and non-drive-end oil peelers configured to peel oil from the rotor while it is rotating. The motor incorporates first and second snap rings to secure the combined seal/bearing housing to the motor housing and the first ball bearing to the combined seal/bearing housing, respectively. The first ball bearing is situated inside of the combined seal/bearing housing on the drive shaft between the rotating seal assembly and the proximal end of the rotor. A second ball bearing is situated inside of the motor housing on the drive shaft between the distal end of the rotor and terminal plate assembly. The rotating seal assembly includes a single, self-lubricating rotating seal, seal spring and single-seal driver.
