Abstract: A motor controller configured to be coupled to a motor that is coupled to a fan is described. The motor controller includes a processor coupled to a memory, and is configured to operate the motor in a first operating mode in which the motor rotates the fan in a first direction at a first speed. The motor controller is further configured to operate the motor in a restriction detection mode in which the motor rotates the fan in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, determine a torque associated with the motor while the motor is rotating the fan in the second direction, determine that the torque is not within a predefined threshold range in the memory, and determine that a restriction exists in a fluid flow path associated with the motor in response to determining that the torque is not within the predefined threshold range.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a housing having an air intake, an air outlet, and defining an air passage therein. The air passage includes a first channel extending from the air intake in a radial direction and a second channel extending in the radial direction to the outlet. The electric machine further includes a motor assembly positioned within the housing that includes a shaft that rotates about a rotational axis that is generally perpendicular to the radial direction. The electric machine further includes an electronics assembly within the housing interior and a heat sink positioned at least partially within the air passage and thermally connected to the electronics assembly. Operation of the motor assembly draws an ambient airflow into the air passage in the radial direction through the air intake, directs the airflow along the heat sink, and exhausts the airflow through the air outlet in the radial direction.

Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor core includes a plurality of rotor poles circumferentially-spaced about a central axis and including a first rotor pole and an adjacent second rotor pole that each include an outer wall, and wherein the rotor core includes a rotor diameter. The rotor core also includes a plurality of radial apertures alternately-spaced with the plurality of rotor poles. The rotor core also includes a first protrusion extending from the first rotor pole into a first radial aperture of the plurality of radial apertures positioned between the first rotor pole and the second rotor pole. The rotor core further includes a second protrusion extending from the second rotor pole into the first radial aperture such that a circumferential opening is defined between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The opening extends a first length of between approximately 0.052% and approximately 0.058% of the rotor diameter.

Abstract: An electric motor for use with a power supply includes a housing and a stator fixedly secured to the housing. The stator has a plurality of coils secured to the stator. The motor also includes a first rotor secured to the stator and having a first number of poles and a second rotor secured to the stator and having a second number of poles. The second number being different than the first number. The plurality of coils cooperates with the first rotor to rotate the first rotor at a first rotor rotational speed and the plurality of coils cooperates with the second rotor to rotate the second rotor at a second rotor rotational speed. The second rotor rotational speed is substantially different than the first rotor rotational speed.

Abstract: A hydrodynamic bearing assembly includes a first member including a first engaging surface. The first member is stationary in a non-operating mode of the bearing assembly and rotates about an axis in an operational mode of the bearing assembly. The hydrodynamic bearing assembly also includes a second member including a bore and a second engaging surface positioned adjacent the first engaging surface. The second member is stationary in both the non-operating mode and the operational mode of the bearing assembly. The hydrodynamic bearing assembly further includes a spacer member positioned within the bore and is configured to engage the first member to define a first gap between the first engaging surface and the second engaging surface in the non-operational mode.
