A system for providing torque, the system comprising: - a stator having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a chamber therein; - a rotor at least partially positioned in the chamber and rotatable relative to the stator about a longitudinal axis; - an axle having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and supporting the rotor; - an endbell (120, 220, 320) located at the first end of the stator and adjacent to the first end of the axle; and - an endcap located at the second end of the stator and adjacent to the second end of the axle; characterized in that it further comprises: - one removable wedge (248, 348, 350) positioned relative to the axle between a portion of the rotor and one of the endbell and the endcap, wherein the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) includes a tab configured to move the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) in a radial direction away from the axle; - the tab being connected to the removable wedge (248, 348, 350); and - the tab being connected to either the stator or the housing (210, 310) of the motor or the armature or a frame positioned relative to the motor or any other component, such that the tab tethers the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) to either the stator or the housing (210, 310) of the motor or the armature or the frame positioned relative to the motor or any other component; - so that the tab facilitates removal of the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) prior to the user using an equipment to which the motor is connected which means, as the motor initially moves, the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) is removed before the motor reaches a predetermined number of revolutions. - a stator having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a chamber therein; - a rotor at least partially positioned in the chamber and rotatable relative to the stator about a longitudinal axis; - an axle having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and supporting the rotor; - an endbell (120, 220, 320) located at the first end of the stator and adjacent to the first end of the axle; and - an endcap located at the second end of the stator and adjacent to the second end of the axle; - one removable wedge (248, 348, 350) positioned relative to the axle between a portion of the rotor and one of the endbell and the endcap, wherein the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) includes a tab configured to move the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) in a radial direction away from the axle; - the tab being connected to the removable wedge (248, 348, 350); and - the tab being connected to either the stator or the housing (210, 310) of the motor or the armature or a frame positioned relative to the motor or any other component, such that the tab tethers the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) to either the stator or the housing (210, 310) of the motor or the armature or the frame positioned relative to the motor or any other component; - so that the tab facilitates removal of the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) prior to the user using an equipment to which the motor is connected which means, as the motor initially moves, the removable wedge (248, 348, 350) is removed before the motor reaches a predetermined number of revolutions.
