Systems and methods for electric motor, where the stator core has one or more stator core sections, each of which is a single-piece unit formed of soft magnetic composite (SMC) material, and where the stator core sections are positioned end-to-end with seals at each end to form a plurality of stator slots, where each of the stator slots extends through each of the stator core sections and is in fluid communication with the others to form a sealed stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber may have an expansion chamber to allow expansion and contraction of dielectric fluid in the stator chamber while maintaining separation of the dielectric oil from lubricating oil which is within the motor but external to the stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber can prevent well fluids that leak into the motor from reaching the stator windings and degrading their insulation.

An electric motor may include: a stator; a rotor; and a tubular sleeve. The stator may have a stator cavity with an axis extending in a longitudinal direction. The stator cavity may have a stator inlet for receiving a fluid and a stator outlet for discharging the fluid. The rotor may be arranged inside the stator cavity and be rotatable around the axis. The tubular sleeve may be arranged between the stator and the rotor, coaxial with the axis, and attached to the stator through attachment members. The tubular sleeve may be spaced from the stator by a first tubular gap, and from the rotor by a second tubular gap. The first tubular gap may extend along the longitudinal direction between a first gap inlet and a first gap outlet. The second tubular gap may extend along the longitudinal direction between a second gap inlet and a second gap outlet.

A subsea pump assembly includes a tubular conduit that has an upstream end plate and an inlet for flowing well fluid into an interior of the conduit. A power cable opening extends through the upstream end plate. An electrical submersible pump and motor are in the interior of the conduit. The motor has a motor assembly housing with an upstream end having an electrical insulator opening. An end connection secures the upstream end to an interior side of the upstream end plate with the insulator opening registering with the power cable opening.

An electrical submersible pump assembly has a magnetic coupling between the motor shaft and the pump shaft. The coupling includes motor shaft disks mounted to the motor shaft, each having upward and downward facing disk surfaces joined by an outward facing disk cylindrical surface. Motor shaft magnets are mounted in each of the disk cylindrical surfaces and in the upward and downward facing disk surfaces. A pump shaft rotor mounted to the pump shaft has annular bands axially separated from each other by recesses into which the disks extend. Rotor magnets are mounted in each of the recess cylindrical surfaces and in upward and downward facing band surfaces. The magnets in the recesses interact with the magnets on the disks.
