Abstract
A brushless, liquid or air cooled, direct current motor formed from a three stack stator and three section rotor assembly using an integrated water cooled or air cooled housing and over-molding techniques.
Claims13
A direct current electric motor comprising:
- a housing;
- three electrically and mechanically independent stator sections longitudinally disposed along a common axis within the housing, and independently connected to three motor drive phase modules, wherein a controller circuitry sequentially activates the three motor drive phase modules;
- a three stage rotor assembly having a center rotor element and two end rotor elements, the center rotor element having a magnetic orientation that is in opposite phase from the magnetic orientation of the end rotor elements;
- and
- a motor driver circuit disposed integral with the housing, the motor driver circuit comprising the three separate motor drive phase modules, each motor drive phase module electrically coupled to a respective one of the independent stator sections;
- wherein each of the three electrically and mechanically independent stator sections includes an injection-molded plastic over-mold.
