Abstract
A dynamoelectric machine in the form of an induction motor includes a pair of end shields for supporting a rotor assembly. At least one of the end shields is a die cast structure having a channel formed in it. The channel is sized to receive a protector for the motor. A bracket utilized in conjunction with the motor includes a spring for biasing the protector within the channel, and a mounting surface to which an external electrical switch is mounted. The bracket includes a pair of arms arranged to permit mounting of the bracket on the induction motor side of the end shield. Consequently, dimensional variations caused by end shield design or manufacture are eliminated and the effect of those dimensional variations on switch/actuator performance no longer is significant.
