Motor/transmission assembly for supporting electric motor of hybrid electric vehicle power-train, has rotor secured to element and including outer surface spaced from stator by air gap established by contact between bearing and element

摘要

The assembly (26) has a stator secured to a torque converter housing (44). A bearing has a radial position established by the housing. An element contacts the bearing. A rotor (R) is secured to the element, and includes a radial outer surface spaced radially from the stator by an air gap established by a contact between the bearing and the element. A body has a radial position established by contact with the housing. Another body has a radial position established by contact with the former body and contacting the bearing. A thrust bearing is located between the element and another element.
