MAGNET RETAINER CLIP FOR PERMANENT MAGNET ELECTRIC MOTORS

摘要

A clip for a motor stator housing to engage at least a first magnet and at least a second magnet of the motor stator includes a generally annular plate having an outer circumferential edge and an inner side. A plurality of outer tabs are radially arranged on the outer circumferential edge and extend outward relative to the outer circumferential edge, wherein the outer tabs engage an inner surface of the stator housing. At least a pair of first inner tabs extend outward from the inner side of the annular plate and are configured to engage opposing sidewalls of the first magnet. At least a pair of second inner tabs extend outward from the inner side of the annular plate and are configured to engage opposing sidewalls of the second magnet.
