An electrically operated throttle valve assembly 110, 210 having a throttle shaft 18, 218 with a portion extending exteriorly of the throttle body 12. Rotor 166, 266 is mounted on the extending portion of shaft 18, 218. A housing 80 concentrically surrounds the rotor 166, 266 and includes a rear wall 86, 286 to which stator 134, 234 is attached. The stator 134, 234 having a plurality of circumferentially spaced pole segments each with a coil is mounted to the rear wall 86, 286 and is concentrically disposed within the rotor 166 , 266. The hollow cylindrical rotor 166, 266 with plural magnets 72, 74, 272, 274 disposed about the inner periphery has a radial web flange 168, 268 whic h is drivingly attached to one end of the extending portion of shaft 18, 218 with the rotor 166, 266 nested over the stator pole segments. Reducing the size o r even eliminating the mounting shaft or bolt 92, and preferably replacing it with a welded, wound and overmolded stack of laminations provides more winding area for electrically conductive coils to provide more magnetic flux.</SDOAB > |
