Abstract
An electric motor includes a nonrotatable stator, a housing, a cover, a bushing and a bolt. The stator has an axially extending hole and a first planar surface, and the housing has a threaded hole. The cover has a through hole with a circumferential surface. The bushing contacts the circumferential surface and the first planar surface, and the bolt extends through the bushing and the axially extending hole, and is threaded into the threaded hole. A method of securing a nonrotatable stator for an electric motor to a housing for the electric motor is also disclosed.
Claims14
An electric motor, comprising:
- a nonrotatable stator comprising:
- an axially extending hole;
- and
- a first planar surface;
- a housing comprising a threaded hole;
- a cover comprising a through hole, the through hole comprising a circumferential surface;
- a bushing contacting the circumferential surface and the first planar surface;
- and
- a bolt extending through the bushing and the axially extending hole, and threaded into the threaded hole.
A method of securing a nonrotatable stator for an electric motor to a housing for the electric motor, comprising:
- providing the nonrotatable stator, comprising:
- an axially extending hole;
- and
- a first planar surface;
- providing the housing, comprising a threaded hole;
- providing a cover, comprising a through hole comprising a circumferential surface;
- installing a bushing in the through hole;
- installing a bolt in the bushing and the axially extending hole;
- and
- fixing the nonrotatable stator to the housing by threading the bolt into the threaded hole so that the bushing contacts the circumferential surface and the first planar surface.
