Bearing support forming electro magnetic shield for resolver position sensor for a brushless electric motor

A motor assembly comprising:

• a brushless electric motor including a motor stator and a motor rotor configured for rotating within the motor stator, the motor stator including a plurality of windings;
• a rotor shaft non-rotatably connected to the motor rotor for rotating with the motor rotor;
• a resolver position sensor including a resolver stator and a resolver rotor configured for rotating within the resolver stator, the resolver rotor being non-rotatably connected to the rotor shaft for rotating with the rotor shaft, the resolver stator generating a signal based on a rotational position of the resolver rotor;
• a rotor shaft bearing coupled to the rotor shaft;
• a bearing support supporting the rotor shaft bearing to allow the rotor shaft to rotate with respect to the bearing support, the bearing support being or including an electromagnetic interference shield to reduce or block electromagnetic waves emitted by the windings of the motor stator from interfering with the signal generated by the resolver stator;
• the bearing support being fixed to the resolver stator, the bearing support including an axially extending rim supporting the rotor shaft bearing and extending axially away from the resolver stator, the bearing support including a flange radially outside of at least a portion of the resolver stator, the axially extending rim and the flange arranged and configured for shielding the resolver position sensor from electromagnetic waves originating from radially outside of the axially extending rim and the flange.
