[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-4This utility model proposes a motor structure that can eliminate axial assembly clearance. By using a rear-mounted bearing component 60, the required axial space for the waveform washer 62 is reserved, thereby eliminating axial clearance. Simultaneously, it enables rapid assembly, effectively simplifying the production assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. Specifically, the motor structure that can eliminate axial assembly clearance includes a stator unit 1, a rotor unit 2, a reducer 3, an encoder 4, an encoder housing 5 covering the stator unit 1 and rotor unit 2, and a washer assembly 6, which is also located inside the encoder housing 5.

During production, the rotor unit 2 and the reducer 3 are first assembled, and the two parts are locked together with screws or other fasteners. Then, one end of the rotor unit 2 is placed into the stator unit 1 to connect the two. Next, the bearing component 60 is pressed into the receiving cavity 7, so that the bearing component 60 is fitted onto the shaft of the rotor unit 2. Then, the wave washer 62 is placed on the bearing component 60, and one side of the wave washer 62 is pressed down by the bearing cover plate 61. Finally, the bearing cover plate 61 is locked onto the stator unit 1 to fix the wave washer 62, completing the installation of the main body. Clearly, this invention can achieve rapid assembly while eliminating axial clearance, resulting in good performance.

[0034] In this embodiment, the receiving cavity 7 is formed by the shaft 20 and the brake 10, that is, the space enclosed by the outer side of the shaft 20 near the brake 10 and the inner side of the brake 10. The wave washer 62 and the bearing 60 are both located in the receiving cavity 7. Due to the reserved space in the receiving cavity 7, the wave washer 62 can be placed immediately after the rotor unit 2 and the stator unit 1 are assembled, thereby eliminating the axial clearance of this type of product.
