  • Publication number: 20220360146
    Abstract: A rotor carrier for an electric machine having a sleeve-shaped receiving region and at least one flange-like carrier region connected to a hub or shaft. The receiving region has on its outer circumferential surface at least one driving groove extending in axial direction, and a plurality of radial oil bore holes are provided in the receiving region so as to be distributed over the circumference. An encoder wheel having a nonmagnetic material is provided at an axial end of the rotor carrier, and in that the encoder wheel protrudes over the receiving region in radial direction to serve as an axial limit for a rotor lamination stack.

  • Publication number: 20220037958
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rotor carrier for an electric machine provided for the drive of a motor vehicle, which has, on the circumference, a rotor carrier connecting portion, which extends in a radial direction of the rotor carrier for connecting to a disk carrier connecting portion of a disk carrier of a multi-disk clutch. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a disk carrier for a multi-disk clutch for decoupling an electric machine provided for the drive of a motor vehicle from an internal combustion engine, which has, on the outer circumference, a disk carrier connecting portion for connecting to a rotor carrier connecting portion of a rotor carrier of the electric machine. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a system having a rotor carrier and a disk carrier as well as a method for producing such a system.

  • Patent number: 10253844
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damping arrangement, in particular mass damper subassembly, having a carrier which can be driven in rotation and a damper mass rotatably deflectable with respect to the carrier against the restoring action of a substantially radially extending damper spring. The damper spring is fixedly clamped in the damper mass and is supported or supportable with respect to the carrier for transmitting circumferential force. The damper spring is clamped between clamping elements arranged at both sides of the damper spring in circumferential direction.
