    Abstract: A motor assembly having a stator assembly and a rotor assembly for an electric motor assembly is disclosed. The stator assembly includes at least two stator arms. Each stator arm including: a distal portion having an inner surface and a plurality of stator teeth spaced along the inner surface of each of the at least two stator arms, the distal portions collectively defining a stator opening, the opening having a longitudinal axis, and, a conductor portion located proximate to the distal portion, the conductor portion non-axisymmetric relative to the longitudinal axis of the opening; and. The rotor assembly is located in the opening proximate the stator teeth.

    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.
