Motor Housing

Requirements

Simple Assembly
Inexpensive Components
Isolate Motor and Gears to minimize Noise

Solution

MOTOR IS SECURED TO SHEETMETAL CRADLE WHICH IS INTURN SECURED TO A SHEETMETAL SLED USING E-A-R GROMMETS.

THESE GROMMETS BLOCK/REDUCE VIBRATION FROM THE MOTOR TO MINIMIZE NOISE.

MOTOR/SLED SLIDES INTO CHANNELS THAT WERE DESIGNED INTO AN EXTRUDED ALUMINUM

HOUSING. THE ONLY POINT OF CONTACT BETWEEN THE MOTOR/SLED AND HOUSING ARE THESE

CHANNELS.

PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDED END CAPS ARE SECURED TO THE EXTRUDED HOUSING USING THESE SAME CHANNELS WHICH HAVE THE DUAL PURPOSE OF ACCEPTING TAPTITE THREAD ROLLING SCREWS.

The design required knowledge of Product Design for Manufacturing – especially Plastic Injection Molded, Extruded Aluminum & Sheetmetal parts as well as a hands-on approach to keep the assembly simple.
