Abstract
A cylindrical case for a dynamoelectric machine has an open axial end and an inner axial stop surface inside said end. A stator assembly has peripheral ears abutting the inner axial stop surface and a guide ear projecting radially into an axial guide channel in the case extending from the open end to the inner axial stop surface. An end cap has a plurality of tabs extending radially into a circumferential groove in said case adjacent the axial stop surface, the tabs being wedged against ramps on the peripheral ears of the stator assembly. The cylindrical case is provided with a plurality of axial tab guide channels from the open end to the circumferential groove so that the end cap can be inserted in the case axially from the open end to the circumferential groove and twisted until the tabs engage the ramps.
