Abstract
A method of making an armature includes placing a commutator and a lamination stack on an armature stack. Coil windings wound in slots in the lamination stack, the commutator and armature shaft are at least partially encapsulated in a first plastic. The commutator has a commutator ring divided into a plurality of segments with slots between the segments that are filled with a second plastic when the commutator is made by molding a core of the second plastic in the commutator ring before the commutator ring is mounted on the armature shaft. The mold used to mold the first plastic includes projections that extend between the tangs of the commutator and against notches at axial ends of the slots of the commutator. The notches filled with the second plastic and the projections of the mold prevent plastic flash from getting into the slots of the commutator ring.
