Abstract
An electric motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, a housing, and an encoder assembly. The housing defines a motor chamber in which the stator and rotor are at least partly housed. The housing includes an endshield that defines in part the motor chamber. The encoder assembly is configured to sense an operational parameter of the motor and includes an encoder and an encoder cover. The encoder is adjustably positioned within an axially recessed channel of the endshield. The encoder cover is secured relative to the endshield to at least partially overlie the encoder.
