Abstract

Permanent magnets are pre-positioned around an injection molded magnet carrier, and the magnet carrier together with the magnets is inserted through one end of a motor housing. Locating features of the magnet carrier position the magnets within the housing. Mounting features of the magnet carrier secure the magnets in place. Other features, including an end cap, can be appended to the magnet carrier to further aid assembly of the motor housing.
