Abstract
An electric motor assembly that eliminates external component-to-component assembly seams between coupled packaging hardware that would inhibit the creation and maintenance of, for example, IP 66 and IP 67 seals while utilizing inexpensive existing motor shaft rear bearing supports and also creating additional internal electronic packaging space. The disclosure provides an assembly with a continuous (e.g., no interruptions or seams) surface area to support IP sealing of the entire packaging-to-package interface between a primary motor frame (e.g., housing) and externally attached secondary/ancillary electronic hardware.
