Abstract

A motor assembly with an electric motor has a stator assembly and a motor housing, and an electronics housing. The electronics housing has a housing shell, formed as a motor carrier, for fastening the motor housing. The motor housing has a first, pot-shaped housing half. The first housing half is fastened by screw fastening action to the motor carrier such that the first housing half presses the electric motor against the motor carrier by way of a housing deformation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A motor assembly, comprising:
an electric motor;
a motor housing, said motor housing having a first, pot-shaped housing half; and an electronics housing, said electronics housing having a housing shell, formed as a motor carrier, for fastening said motor housing thereto, said motor carrier having a face side with a first surface facing said motor housing, said face side having a ring-shaped abutment surface disposed about a circumference of said face side and protruding from said first surface towards said first housing half, said first housing half bearing against said abutment surface by way of a face side of said first housing half facing said motor carrier;
said first housing half being fastened by screw fastening action to said motor carrier of a nut to a stud bolt to cause said first housing half to press said electric motor against said motor carrier by way of a housing deformation of said face side of said first housing half.

2. The motor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
said motor carrier is formed with at least one screw hole for the screw fastening of said first housing half; and
said screw hole is drawn in axially in relation to said abutment surface.

3. The motor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said abutment surface is an encircling or segmented ring-shaped surface.

4. The motor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said stud bolt is fastened to said first housing half for the screw fastening of said first housing half to said motor carrier.

5. The motor assembly according to claim 4 , wherein said stud bolt is fastened to said first housing half by way of an interference fit.

6. The motor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said electric motor has a stator assembly and said motor housing further comprises a second, pot-shaped housing half mounted on said stator assembly opposite said first housing half.

7. The motor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said first and second housing halves are plugged onto said stator assembly with an interference fit.

8. The motor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said first housing half has a greater housing height than said second housing half.

9. The motor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said first and second housing halves are directly mechanically connected to one another.

10. The motor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said first and second housing halves are welded to one another.

11. The motor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said first housing half comprises a fixed bearing and said second housing half comprises a floating bearing in which a rotor shaft of said electric motor is rotatably mounted.

12. An actuator for a motor vehicle, comprising a motor assembly according to claim 1 .

13. The actuator according to claim 12 , configured as a gearbox actuator.
