Bearing lock clip for an electric motor

摘要

A bearing lock clip for an electric motor is provided. A bearing lock clip is secured to an end frame of a motor and locks or unlocks a motor bearing in place in the end frame. The bearing lock clip is mounted for movement between a locked and an unlocked position. The bearing lock clip includes a tab which abuts an outside surface of the end frame. An attachment is provided to secure the lock clip to the end frame. As the attachment is rotated, the lock clip rotates until the tab abuts the outside surface of the end frame and, either, a part of the lock clip covers a part of the bearing, or no part of the lock clip covers any part of the bearing.
