Original Abstract Submitted
A method of installing a stator and a motor housing includes inserting a stator into a motor housing, the motor housing having a shaft bore and a plurality first bolt holes end of the state are having a bore opening and a plurality of second bolt holes. A centering fixture is inserted into the shaft bore of the housing and into the bore opening, the centering fixture includes a first centering device received into the shaft bore and a second centering device received into the bore opening of the stator. A locating plate is secured to the motor housing and engaged with the centering fixture. The first centering devices actuated for centering the centering fixture relative to the shaft and the second centering device is actuated for centering the state are relative to the shaft board. The plurality of bolts are tightened to secure the stator to the motor housing.
