An electric work machine includes: a brushless motor including: a rotor having permanent magnets fixed to a rotor core; a stator core; one or more insulators fixed to the stator core; and a stator including coils mounted on the insulator(s); magnetic sensors, which detect the position of the rotor in a rotational direction by detecting the magnetic flux of the permanent magnets; a controller, which controls energization of the coils based in part on detection signals of the magnetic sensors; and an output part driven by the rotor. The permanent magnets are each a neodymium, sintered, plate magnet. The pole count (N) is the number of permanent magnets. The stator diameter (x) is the diameter of a surface of the stator core that faces the rotor in millimeters. The following condition is satisfied: 0.16x+2.5<N<0.23x+3.6.

A varnish injection system includes a rotatable mount, an electric motor supported by the rotatable mount, the electric motor including a stator and a wire, and a varnish injector including a base and a nozzle extending from the base, the nozzle defining an axis extending vertically therethrough. The electric motor is rotatable by the rotatable mount to a nonzero angle relative to the axis extending vertically through the nozzle. The nozzle is arranged to deposit varnish into a gap defined between the stator and the wire when the rotatable mount rotates the electric motor to the nonzero angle.

A varnish injection system includes a varnish injector including a base, a nozzle extending from the base, and a spacer disposed on the nozzle, and an electric motor including a stator, a wire, and an insulating layer between the stator and the wire. The nozzle is arranged to deposit varnish between the stator and the insulating layer. The nozzle and the stator define a gap therebetween when the spacer engages the stator.

An electric motor includes a stator, an insulating layer, and a wire. The stator includes a first circular laminate and a second circular laminate. The first laminate includes a first finger having a distal end extending toward a center point of the first circular laminate. The second laminate includes a second finger having a distal end extending toward a center point of the second circular laminate. The first and second fingers define a wall. The distal ends of the first and second fingers define a space therebetween. The insulating layer extends along the wall and into the space. The insulating layer is spaced from the distal end of the second finger. The wire extends along the insulating layer below the distal ends of the first and second fingers.

A varnish application system includes an electric motor, a clamp, and a varnish injector. The clamp includes a beam, a first end plate fixed to the beam and engageable to a first end of the electric motor, and a second end plate releasably connected the beam and engageable to a second end of the electric motor. The varnish injector is arranged to apply varnish to the electric motor when the clamp engages the electric motor.

A power tool is provided including a gear case having a spindle, a motor case connected to a rear end of the gear case along a longitudinal axis; a handle portion extending from a rear end of the motor case along the longitudinal axis; a motor housed inside the motor case; a fan in rotational connection with the motor; at least one air intake arranged at least one of the motor case or the handle portion near the rear end of the motor case; and a power module including power switches for driving the motor and a heat sink. The power module is housed in at least one of the motor case or the handle portion near the rear end of the motor case such that rotation of the fan causes air flow to enter through the air intake and flow near the heat sink and through the motor.

Provided is a waterproof fan which includes: a rotor; a stator including a winding; a circuit board supplying power to the winding; a resin frame including an undersurface located on one side of a rotation axis of a rotor, and a housing space opening on the other side of the rotation axis, to house the circuit board; a waterproofing resin portion covering the stator and closing an opening of the housing space; a bearing rotatably supporting the rotating shaft portion; and a cylindrical metal bearing holder extending along the rotation axis and supporting the bearing, in which the frame includes a tubular holder protection portion extending from the undersurface to the other side of the rotation axis and covering at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder, and the holder protection portion separates the stator from the bearing holder.

A step of inserting an insulating paper into a slot of a stator core (second step) is performed, a step of placing a jig at a position that is on a side opposite to a side from which a segment coil is inserted into the slot of the stator core and that overlaps with a protrusion when viewed in an inserting direction of the segment coil (third step) is performed, and then a step of inserting the segment coil into the slot (fourth step) is performed. Therefore, even when the insulating paper is dragged by the segment coil in the process of inserting the segment coil into the slot, the insulating paper abuts the jig and the movement of the insulating paper is restricted, thereby suppressing displacement of the insulating paper from the slot.
