Abstract
A motor includes a surface mountable motor base having (a) a base, (b) a bearing supporter extending from the base for supporting a bearing, (c) a stator supporter concentric with the bearing supporter for supporting a stator, and (d) a terminal for connection to a winding of the stator, the terminal exposed on a bottom of the motor base and extending substantially parallel to the base. This structure solves difficulties of mini-motors such as difficulties of handling the motor, difficulties of mating those elements with each other, and time-consuming bonding. A method of assembling the same motor achieves high productivity.
Claims6
A surface mountable motor base, comprising:
- a motor base;
- a bearing supporter extending from said motor base for supporting a bearing;
- a stator supporter concentric with said bearing supporter for supporting a stator;
- and
- a plurality of terminals disposed around said bearing supporter for connection to a plurality of windings of said stator, each of said terminals having an upper face and a bottom face, the upper face of at least one of the terminals being coupled to at least one of the plurality of windings and the bottom faces of the terminals being exposed on a bottom of said motor base and extending substantially parallel to said motor base.
