Abstract
Abstract The two bearing brackets (4, 5) of a small motor are clamped by means of stud screws (2, 3) against the respective end face of the motor casing (1). The stud screws (2, 3) extend axially by free bolt ends (21, 31) beyond one bearing bracket (5). Onto these free bolt ends (21, 31), a holding frame for the small motor is placed and is fixed against the bearing bracket (5) by means of a holding nut to be screwed onto the free bolt ends (21, 31). The screw heads (22, 23) provided at the stud screw ends are held positively in the one bearing bracket (4) to prevent their rotation with respect to the casing and onto the other, axially projecting free bolt end (21, 31) an attachment nut (23, 33) is screwed applying firmly against the other bearing bracket (5).
