Engine housings feature an opening on the housing through which electric connection is enabled, as well as temporary maintenance. An ODP-type engine housing including a metal housing with a side opening, the opening compatible with the shape of the bottom of the junction box, enabling the junction box to partially close the opening of the housing. Consequently, when the junction box is attached, the housing is closed in order to facilitate the closing operation, as well as reducing manufacturing complexity, total mass of the housing and, consequently, manufacturing costs.

An electric motor is provided which is designed to minimize a risk of corrosion or stress corrosion cracking of parts thereof and reduce mechanical vibration or noise. The electric motor includes an output shaft, a bearing which retains the output shaft, a frame, and a biasing member. The biasing member is made of austenite stainless steel and disposed between the bearing and a bottom wall of a bearing housing to elastically press the output shaft in a lengthwise direction thereof for eliminating mechanical noise arising from vibration of a rotor. The frame has a coating formed on an outer surface thereof for avoiding erosion thereof. The coating is not formed at least on a portion of the frame which faces the biasing member in order to induce sacrificial corrosion of the frame, which decelerates the corrosion of the biasing member to eliminate a risk of the stress corrosion cracking thereof.

A ram air fan assembly includes a motor/bearing housing that extends along a horizontal length of the ram air fan assembly. An inner housing assembly is in fluid communication with the motor/bearing housing to define a joint. The inner housing assembly includes first and second ellipse-shaped slots. The first slot is positioned at a first angle with respect to a radial axis of the inner housing assembly that is perpendicular to the horizontal length, and the second slot is positioned at a second angle with respect to the radial axis, the second angle being different from the first angle, and each slot extending along a first direction parallel to the horizontal length to define an axial width and extending along a radial axis to define a radial width being greater than the axial width.

The invention relates to a housing (10) for an electrical machine (50) and to an electrical machine (50) having such a housing (10). The housing (10) comprises an inner wall (12) and an outer wall (14), with a hollow space (16) therebetween for cooling the electrical machine (50) with a fluid. The housing (10) further has a sealing device (24, 26) on a front face (22, 23) of the housing (10). The housing is particularly characterised in that the sealing device (24, 26) comprises an annular sealing element (28) mounted between the inner wall (12) and the outer wall (14) so as to seal the front face, and in that the sealing device (24, 26) comprises a deflection ridge (30) which projects from the sealing element (28) in the axial direction of the housing (10) and is at least partially arranged between the walls (12, 14), the deflection ridge (30) being designed to lead a cooling fluid in the hollow space (16). A compact, economical and fluid-tight housing (10) can thus be advantageously provided.
