Abstract
A motor is provided including a motor housing, an end cap secured to an open end of the motor housing, a stator, a rotor shaft, a rotor mounted on the rotor shaft; and a positional sensor circuit board including position sensors in magnetic interface with the rotor. The end cap includes a radial body having a center pocket arranged to securely support a bearing of the rotor shaft, and a molded structure formed through at least a portion of the radial body. The molded structure includes: a first portion formed to axially constrain the bearing within the center pocket on one side of the radial body, and a second portion forming a support structure projecting from another side of the radial body to structurally support the positional sensor circuit board relative to the rotor.
