Abstract: An electric motor assembly includes a bearing assembly including a rotating component and at least one stationary component. The electric motor assembly also includes an impeller coupled to the rotating component. The impeller includes an inlet and an outlet and is configured to direct a fluid between the inlet and the outlet. The electric motor assembly also includes a rotor assembly directly coupled to the impeller. A fluid flow channel is defined between the rotating component and the at least one stationary component. The flow channel includes a first end proximate the impeller outlet and a second end proximate the impeller inlet.

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 first member includes a first bore and a shaft positioned within the first bore and including an end surface. The hydrodynamic bearing assembly also includes a second member including a second 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 second 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.

Abstract: An electric motor assembly includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly positioned adjacent the stator assembly to define an axial gap therebetween. The stator assembly is configured to induce a first axial force on the rotor assembly. The electric motor assembly also includes an impeller directly coupled to the rotor assembly opposite the stator assembly such that the rotor assembly and the impeller are configured to rotate about an axis. A fluid channeled by the impeller induces a second axial force on the impeller. The electric motor assembly further includes a hydrodynamic bearing assembly including a rotating member coupled to the rotor assembly and stationary member at least partially circumscribing the rotating member such that rotation of the rotating member with respect to the stationary member is configured to induce a third axial force on the rotor assembly.

Abstract: A pump assembly includes a pump housing having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a fluid channel defined therebetween. The pump assembly also includes an impeller positioned within the fluid channel and configured to channel a fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The pump assembly also includes a motor assembly having a shaft coupled to the rear plate, wherein the shaft defines a first fluid cavity coupled in flow communication with an opening in the rear plate to enable fluid flow into the shaft. The motor assembly also includes a motor housing having a back plate positioned relative to the impeller rear plate to define a second fluid cavity therebetween. The motor assembly further includes a stator assembly coupled to the back plate and positioned opposite the second fluid cavity such that the fluid facilitates cooling the stator assembly.
