<p>A blower suitable for office automation equipment comprising a motor with an impeller (6) mounted by stays (2) in a frame (1). The motor has a base (4) with a flange (4a) extending away from bearing, coil and magnet (18) components of the motor to form a chamber (11) which accommodates a printed circuit board (12) supporting electrical components (13). A chamber opening, defined by the flange (4a), is sealed closed by a cover (10) held in place by screws (9) which engage bosses (4b) projecting from the base (4). Airborne contaminants which could cause electrical component degradation are thereby prevented from contacting the printed circuit board (12) and electrical components (13) thus increasing the life and reliability of the blower. <IMAGE></p> |
