A power tool is provided with a tool housing, a support plate provided within the tool housing, a rear tool cap mounted on a rear end of the tool housing, and a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor received within the housing. The motor includes a stator assembly having a stator core and stator windings, a front motor bearing supported by the support plate, a rear motor bearing supported by the rear tool cap, and a rotor including a rotor core and a magnet ring mounted around the rotor core. The rotor core defines an annular recess within which at portion of the front bearing and a portion of the support plate are located such that the a radial plane intersects the front bearing, the magnet ring, and the stator core.

Electrical generators having one or more conformal support and cooling devices for use in supporting and cooling rotating elements of the generator are disclosed herein. An electrical generator includes a housing, a shaft disposed axially through the housing, a rotor assembly including a plurality of poles that are disposed within the housing and mounted on the shaft, a support wedge disposed between two of the plurality of poles. The conformal support and cooling device includes an internal cooling channel in a helical configuration or a V-shape configuration that extends from a first length-wise end of the support and cooling device to a second length-wise end of the support and cooling device. Additive manufacturing processes are employed to fabricate the conformal support and cooling device.

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.
