  • Publication number: 20240123813
    Abstract: A generator module for a vehicle includes a housing arranged for fixing to an engine block of a combustion engine, a stator, fixed in the housing, a rotor, rotatable relative to the stator, a hub fixed to the rotor and arranged for fixing to a crankshaft of the combustion engine, a ring gear carrier fixed to the hub, a intermediate plate connected to the ring gear carrier by a first flexible element, a rotor carrier plate fixed to the rotor and connected to the intermediate plate by a second flexible element, and a first friction material segment disposed axially between the intermediate plate and the rotor carrier plate. In an example embodiment, the first friction material segment is a first friction material ring. In an example embodiment, the generator module also includes a ring gear fixed to the ring gear carrier.

  • Patent number: 9188200
    Abstract: A multi-speed transmission may include an input member and an output member disposed in a housing. A first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a third planetary gear set, and a fourth planetary gear set may be disposed within the housing, each planetary gear set including a sun gear, a planet carrier, and a ring gear. Six control elements may be operably coupled to each of the planetary gear sets and selectively engagable to create a set of different gear ratios between the input member and the output member. The set of different gear ratios may include at least ten forward gear ratios and at least one reverse gear ratio.
