Abstract
A motor end cap and output device housing is provided that includes a motor end plate having an output device attachment area and a output device housing having a motor end plate attachment area. The output device attachment area includes a locking tab that mates with a slot portion in the output device housing to interlock the two together. As a result, the motor end plate can be conveniently attached to the output device housing without requiring extra fasteners.
