    Abstract: A power tool including a housing, a controller within the housing, and a brushless motor within the housing and controlled by the controller. The brushless motor including a stator assembly including a stator core having stator laminations with an annular portion and inwardly extending stator teeth. The stator assembly defines a stator envelope in an axial direction extending between axial ends of stator end caps of the stator assembly. The brushless motor further includes a rotor assembly including a rotor core having rotor laminations and defining a central aperture that extends in the axial direction and that receives a shaft, and a position sensor board assembly including position sensors and configured to provide position information of the rotor core to the controller. The rotor assembly and the position sensor board assembly are provided at least partially within the stator envelope.

    Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator assembly including a lamination stack, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and a plurality of windings. The PCBA is coupled to the lamination stack at a first axial end of the stator assembly. The windings are wrapped about the lamination stack to form coils. Each winding includes crossover portions extending about a portion of a circumference of the stator assembly to connect pairs of opposite coils. The crossover portions are located at a second axial end of the stator assembly opposite the first axial end.

    Abstract: A power tool with a combined printed circuit board (PCB) having a doughnut shape and located coaxially with a motor shaft. The combined PCB is secured to a heat sink on one end of the motor and a metal end piece is positioned on an opposite end of the motor. The metal end cap and heat sink are secured to one another via fasteners to provide a rigid coupling. A tabbed end piece is provided between the heat sink and the motor stator and is also secured into place via the fasteners. The tabbed end piece includes wire support tabs that provide strain relief to motor coil leads. The wire support tabs extend axially from circumferential locations of the tabbed end piece and include channels to guide the motor coil leads to solder contact points on the combined PCB.

    Abstract: A power tool including a housing, a controller within the housing, and a brushless motor within the housing and controlled by the controller. The brushless motor includes a stator assembly, a rotor core, and a rotor enclosure. The stator assembly includes a stator core having stator laminations defining a stack length in an axial direction. The rotor enclosure includes a front end cap provided on a first side of the rotor core having a front bearing holder; and a rear end cap provided on a second side of the rotor core. The brushless motor further includes a fan, a front bearing, and a rear bearing. The front bearing holder and the fan define a bearing-to-fan length in the axial direction between axial ends of the front bearing holder and the fan, wherein a difference between the bearing-to-fan length and the stack length is less than 23.5 millimeters.

    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a battery connection portion supported by the housing, a drive mechanism configured to operate a working element, and a brushless DC motor positioned within the housing and connected to the drive mechanism. The motor includes a rotor, stator surrounding the motor, and an output shaft fixed to the rotor such that movement of the rotor is transmitted to the output shaft. The motor also includes a fan coupled to the output shaft to rotate with the output shaft and the rotor, and a brass bushing fixed to the output shaft to rotate with the rotor and the output shaft relative to the stator. The bushing includes a balancing feature.
