An electric motor assembly (100) has an inner-rotor configuration including a hollow space within the rotor hub (118). The hollow space houses at least part of a brake (106, 108, 110, 112) for providing a braking force between the rotor and a stator (102) of the electric motor. The brake can be conf...

Summary:An electric motor assembly (100) has an inner-rotor configuration including a hollow space within the rotor hub (118). The hollow space houses at least part of a brake (106, 108, 110, 112) for providing a braking force between the rotor and a stator (102) of the electric motor. The brake can be configured to provide braking force when no power is flowing to the electric motor, and can have an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the rotor.
