Abstract
A motor comprising a rotor, a stator, a motor shell, a pair of motor endshields, and a controller housing is provided. The rotor is rotatable about an axis. The stator presents opposite axial ends. The motor shell extends around the axis to at least partly circumscribe the rotor and stator. Each motor endshield is positioned adjacent a respective one of the stator ends and provides support for the rotor. The fastener extends through and interconnects the stator and endshields. The controller housing defines an electronics compartment positioned radially outside the motor shell. The controller housing includes a connector that receives the fastener so as to fix the controller housing to the stator and endshields.
