Claim 15:
16. A motor comprising:
a motor housing having a substantially cylindrical body and at least one open end;
a stator disposed within the motor housing, the stator including a stator core, a plurality of stator windings, and an end insulator including a plurality of teeth configured to electrically insulate the stator core from the plurality of stator windings and an annular body extending away from the stator core;
a rotor rotatably received within the stator and including a rotor shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and a plurality of permanent magnets; and
a bearing bridge including a center pocket arranged to support a bearing of the rotor shaft,
wherein the bearing bridge is received at least partially within the end insulator, the annular body of the end insulator includes at least one cut-out region extending from an end thereof, and the bearing bridge includes at least one side protrusion disposed through the at least one cut-out region to engage the motor housing, thus radially supporting the bearing bridge relative to the motor housing.
