A motor is provided including: a stator including a stator core, stator windings, and an end insulator; a rotor rotatably received within the stator; and stator terminals supported by the routing insulator and extending away from the stator. Each stator terminal includes a main body having a curved portion, a tang portion folded over the main body and receiving a portion of a magnet wire therein to make an electrical connection with at least one of the stator windings, and a terminal pin projecting axially away from the stator core. The stator core has a maximum diameter of less than or equal to approximately 34 mm defining an outer envelope of the stator, and the stator terminals are fully contained within the outer envelope.

A motor is provided including a motor housing having an open end; a stator disposed within the motor housing and including a stator core, stator windings, and an end insulator that electrically insulate the stator core from the stator windings and includes an annular body; a rotor rotatably received within the stator and including a rotor shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and permanent magnets; and a bearing bridge including a center pocket arranged to support a bearing of the rotor shaft. The bearing bridge is received at least partially within the end insulator. The annular body of the end insulator includes at least one peripheral opening located within the motor housing, and the bearing bridge is radially piloted relative to the motor housing via a retaining member received through the at least one peripheral opening.

A motor is provided including a motor housing having a substantially cylindrical body and at least one open end, a stator disposed within the motor housing, and a rotor rotatably received within the stator. The motor further includes a bearing bridge mounted on the open end of the motor housing and including a main body forming a center pocket arranged to support a rotor shaft, an outer ring configured to be fittingly received through the open end of the motor housing, and at least one fastening receptacle formed radially through the outer ring. The motor housing includes a side opening through which a fastener is radially fastened into the fastening receptable to secure the bearing bridge to the motor housing.

A motor assembly includes a stator having a stator core, stator windings, and a routing insulator configured to electrically insulate the stator core from the stator windings; a rotor rotatably received within the stator; and a bearing bridge received at least partially within the routing insulator and including a main body forming a center pocket arranged to support a bearing of the rotor shaft. A circuit board is provided including a circuit board, and an overmold structure forming an annular body on a surface of the circuit board arranged to mate with the main body of the bearing bridge to substantially seal the center pocket from ingress of debris particles.

A power tool is provided including a housing having a grip portion with a grip circumference of smaller than or equal to approximately 120 mm; and a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor at least partially disposed within the grip portion of the housing and configured to output a maximum power output of at least 450 watts.

A drive device includes an annular cover having an inner peripheral opening, and a drive unit to which the annular cover is attached. The drive device includes an inner peripheral adhesive that bonds the inner peripheral end of the annular cover to the drive unit, and includes an outer peripheral adhesive that bonds the outer peripheral end of the annular cover to the drive unit. Therefore, the drive unit and the annular cover can be bonded to each other at a plurality of locations. Therefore, it is easier to firmly fix and fix the components to each other as compared with a configuration in which the only one bonding location is provided. Therefore, it is possible to provide the drive device in which components are properly adhered and fixed to each other.

A worm wheel is installed inside a wheel accommodation chamber of a body casing; a motor is fastened by screws from the right side perpendicular to the axis line of the worm wheel, thus forming a motor fastening part; and a worm fixed to an output shaft of the motor is engaged with the worm wheel. A board accommodation chamber is formed so as to be adjacent to the right of the wheel accommodation chamber, and a control board is inserted inside the board accommodation chamber from below. The control board is disposed so as to be inclined in a direction in which the upper end of the control board is displaced toward the wheel accommodation chamber from an erect attitude perpendicular to the axis line of the output shaft of the motor, and thus the upper end is separated from the motor fastening part in the direction of the axis line of the output shaft.
