Abstract

A Brushless Direct-Current (BLDC) motor is provided for a power tool, including a stator, and a rotor pivotably arranged inside the stator. The rotor includes a rotor shaft, a rotor lamination stack mounted on the rotor shaft to rotate therewith, and at least one magnet. A bearing is mounted on the rotor shaft to support the rotor shaft. A mount is disposed adjacent the stator along a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft, the mount having a bearing support member intersecting the longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft and arranged to support the bearing therein. The mount further support hall sensors axially with respect to the rotor, the hall sensors arranged around a circumference of the bearing support to magnetically sense the at least one magnet.
