A permanent magnet electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The stator has a stator housing with at least a North pole and a South pole, each pole including permanent magnets affixed to an inner surface of the stator housing, where at least two of the magnets within a pole have dissimilar characteristics, e.g., different widths or different grades of demagnetization resistance.

An electric motor has a rotor and a stator. The rotor or the stator has arced permanent magnets that have essentially the same inner radius (IR) and outer radius (OR). In an aspect, the stator has a stator housing having a plurality of poles. Each pole includes a plurality of flat magnets affixed to an inner surface of the stator housing. In an aspect, flats on the outside of the stator housing key the stator assembly in a power tool housing. In an aspect, flat magnets are pre-magnetized, pre-assembled with alternating magnetic polarities, inserted into a stator housing, and remagnetized to a final, desired magnetic polarity configuration. In an aspect, pre-magnetized magnets and unmagnetized magnets are pre-assembled with unmagnetized magnets between magnetized magnets, the pre-assembled magnets inserted into a stator housing, and the unmagnetized magnets magnetized to a final, desired magnetic polarity configuration. In an aspect, pre-magnetized magnets are inserted between anchors inwardly extending from an inner surface of a stator housing with the anchors retaining each magnet placed in the stator housing between anchors from being angularly displaced by subsequently inserted magnets. In an aspect, pre-magnetized magnets are inserted in recesses in an inner surface of a stator housing with the recesses retaining each magnet placed in the stator housing between anchors from being angularly displaced by subsequently inserted magnets. In an aspect, each pole has at least three magnets, at least one of the magnets being thinner than the other magnets. In an aspect, the outer most magnets are made of magnetic material that is more resistant to demagnetization than at least one of the other magnets. In an aspect, the magnets of each pole are unevenly spaced over the pole In an aspect, a power tool includes such an electric motor.

A power tool has a motor with end caps secured by cold forming to the motor. The end caps include bearings retained in the end cap by deformation of the end cap. The motor includes an armature shaft which is staked to retain laminates as well as a retainer on the shaft. Also, a pinion gear with a shoulder which limits movement of the shaft in the motor. A fan is on the motor armature which is secured by an adhesive which changes color during assembly. The motor also includes a demagnetization member which increases resistance to demagnetization due to elevated temperature, as well as armature reaction field.

An armature for an electric motor has a lamination stack on a shaft with a commutator mounted on one end of the shaft. Magnet wires wound in slots in the lamination stack, the commutator and armature shaft are at least partially encapsulated in thermoset. The commutator has a commutator ring divided into a plurality of segments with slots between the segments that are filled with a second plastic when the commutator is made by molding a core of the second plastic, such as phenolic, in the commutator ring before the commutator ring is mounted on the armature shaft. Prior to molding the thermoset, the commutator ring is sealed. The seal prevents the thermoset from flowing into the slots between the commutator ring segments or over the commutator ring.

A stator assembly for an electric motor includes a stator housing, a flux ring inserted into the stator housing after the stator housing is formed and a plurality of magnets on an inner surface of the flux ring. Overmold material is molded around the magnets in the flux ring, such as by injection molding. The overmold material secures the magnets to the flux ring and the flux ring to the housing. In an aspect, the overmold material is molded to form at least one of a commutator end or rear bearing support, front bearing support and fan baffle.

A power tool includes a motor with a flux ring. The flux ring includes a ring member with a first and second end. The ends are positioned with respect to one another such that the ends move towards and away from one another during compressing and expanding of the ring. At least one anchor is unitarily formed with the ring. A pair of magnets are coupled with unitarily formed anchors to couple the pair of magnets with the ring. The magnets are coupled with the ring such that the ring may be compressed and expanded with the magnets secured in the ring.

A power tool includes a brushless DC motor housed inside an upper body of the tool housing and a control unit housed inside a handle of the housing, the control unit including a micro-controller mounted on a control circuit board, a power unit electronically coupled to the micro-controller and mounted on a power circuit board arranged substantially parallel the control circuit board inside the handle, and a heat sink in thermal contact with the power unit. An input unit may be mounted directly on the control circuit board. An upper portion of the heat sink extending towards the upper body of the housing may include a tab protruding underneath a fan assembly of the motor to transfer heat from the power unit to the airflow created by the fan.
