Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underwater motors, and in particular to a stator assembly and a motor for a thruster motor. Background Art

[0002] Underwater thrusters require corresponding waterproof motors, and the bearings of such waterproof motors generally use only a single bearing system, that is, a sliding bearing system or a rolling bearing system made of composite materials. When a sliding bearing system is used, its rotation accuracy is poor, and the sliding bearing is in surface contact during rotation, and is prone to radial wear, which reduces the rotation accuracy after a period of use, causes scratches on the stator and rotor, and wears the waterproof coating or potting layer, affecting the life of the motor. When rolling bearings are used, since the underwater thruster is subjected to axial thrust during operation, and the rolling bearing is difficult to withstand axial thrust, it is easy to cause stress concentration on the ball and raceway, which intensifies raceway wear and even premature failure, affecting the service life of the motor.
