An apparatus for use with a dynamoelectric machine includes a main body configured for attachment to a brush holder. A proximity sensor is on the main body, and the proximity sensor is configured for detecting the presence of a brush located at least partially inside the brush holder. The apparatus receives power from a battery located inside the apparatus, and transmits a wireless signal. The wireless signal is transformable into an indication of a remaining life of the brush. The apparatus is configured to be fully operational when the dynamoelectric machine is neither energized nor in operation, as the apparatus receives power from the battery.

A brush assembly includes a circuit board, at least two brushes, power connecting terminals for connecting with an external power supply, and a power supply branch circuit connected in series between a corresponding one of the power connecting terminals and a corresponding one of the brushes.

A motor includes a motor body including a bottom part and a motor terminal 26 provided at the bottom part, and a terminal unit 200 mounted at the bottom part of the motor body. The terminal unit 200 includes a holder 210, a PTC thermistor 180 and a terminal part 330b fixed to the holder 210, and a wiring part electrically connecting the motor terminal 26 and the terminal part 330b. The PTC thermistor 180 is provided at the wiring part. In the radial direction, the terminal part 330b and the PTC thermistor 180 are arranged and facing each other.

An electric motor, in particular a separately excited synchronous motor, comprises a rotor shaft with at least one slip ring and at least one electrically conductive contact element, in particular a carbon brush, which bears against the slip ring and is accommodated in a channel-like guide formed in a housing and extending radially with respect to the rotor shaft and which carbon brush is radially tensioned against the slip ring by means of a spring element, wherein a roller is provided which is tensioned laterally against the contact element via a further spring element and via which the contact element is tensioned against a wall of the guide.

A motor includes a frame in the shape of a bottomed cylinder, a stator housed in the frame, a rotor, an end plate for closing an opening of the frame, and bearings rotatably supporting a rotary shaft of the rotor. The frame has, on its bottom, a bearing holder at the center and ribs extending like rays from the bearing holder radially outward and protruding to the inside of the frame. Each rib has a radially outer end reaching a circumferential wall of the frame.

In the rotating electrical machine with integrated control device provided with the drive unit and the inverter assembly, the brush holder that holds the brush is detachably attached to either the rear bracket side of the inverter assembly or the inverter assembly side of the rear bracket so that it is not necessary to provide a hole for incorporating the brush holder in the central part of the control module, and the radial dimension of the control module can be reduced.
