Abstract
A number of embodiments of rotating electrical machines such as a DC brushless motor that are mounted in a housing arrangement that provides not only a bearing for the rotor but also a cavity in which a major portion of an associated machine having a rotating shaft associated with the DC machine is positioned. Thus, a more universal type of construction is possible that permits greater latitude in the associated equipment. Various arrangements for bearing support of the rotor and housing constructions are disclosed.
Claims35
A DC rotating electrical machine comprised of an outer housing forming a stator of said DC rotating electrical machine, said outer housing being comprised of a generally cylindrical center section and affixed first and second end closures, a rotor journalled within said outer housing and extending through said first end closures for driving connection to a related rotating machine, said first end closure forming a cavity in which a substantial portion of said related rotating machine is contained.
A DC rotating electrical machine comprised of an outer housing forming a stator of said DC rotating electrical machine, said outer housing being comprised of a generally cylindrical center section closed at opposite ends by first and second end closures, a rotor within said outer housing and extending through said first end closures for driving connection to a related rotating machine, said second end closure carrying a cylindrical post extending into an cylindrical opening in said rotor for journalling said rotor within said outer housing.
