In an electric motor, a shaft 12 is supported by a sleeve bearing 10 and axial movement of the shaft 12 through the bearing 10 is restricted by an abutment 20 supported by or as a part of spacer 14. The abutment 20 has a thrust face 22 which bears against an end face 16 of the bearing 10 creating a thrust/bearing interface. The thrust face 22 has a part spherical profile to accommodate variations in the alignment between the bearing 10 and the shaft 12 due to manufacturing tolerances, etc. <IMAGE> |
