Abstract: A bladed balancing disc for an electric motor is disclosed. The bladed balancing disc includes a first disc, a second disc, a plurality of blades, and at least one disc aperture. The first disc includes a first flange extending from the first disc in an axial direction relative to a central axis of the first disc, and the second disc is axially offset from the first disc in an extension direction of the first flange. Each of the plurality of blades extend between the first disc and the second disc. The at least one disc aperture extends through the first flange, fluidly coupling a volume radially inward of the first flange to a volume radially outward of the first flange.

Abstract: An improved seal assembly that includes an outer cap, a ring, and a spring washer. The ring is configured to repeatedly engage with a contact element defined on a bearing ring during rotation such that the ring vibrates.

Abstract: A drive system for an electric vehicle includes a primary motor with a first power and a secondary motor with a second power, greater than the first power. The primary motor may be a synchronous motor and the secondary motor may be an asynchronous motor. The primary motor may be a permanent magnet motor and the secondary motor may be an induction motor. A power ratio between the first power of the primary motor and the second power of the secondary motor may be less than 1.

Abstract: A fluid connector for coupling an associated slave cylinder to a mating connector of an associated high-pressure pipe. The fluid connector includes a unitary one-piece connector body having a male end and a female end, the male end adapted to be received in a port of the associated slave cylinder, the female end adapted to receive a male end of the mating connector of the associated high-pressure pipe.

Abstract: A cam phaser mechanism includes an inner ring (rotor), and outer ring (stator), and a face plate. The inner ring that is wider than outer ring. The face plate is contoured such that it is thinner in a region in contact with the inner ring and thicker in a region in contact with the outer ring, thus compensating for the different widths of the inner ring and outer ring. The stator is fastened to the face plate by a plurality of bolts which are threaded into the face plate. The greater width of the face plate in this region provides sufficient thread engagement without increasing the overall width of the cam phaser mechanism.

Abstract: A two-pass torque converter, including: a cover arranged to receive torque; an impeder including an impeller shell connected to the cover and at least one impeller blade fixedly connected to the impeller shell; a turbine including a turbine shell and at least one turbine blade fixedly connected to the turbine shell; a lock-up clutch including a piston plate; and a flow control assembly including a first seal and a spring connected to the first seal and urging the first seal toward one of the cover or the piston plate. The cover, the piston plate, and the flow control assembly define, at least partly, a release pressure chamber. The cover, the impeller shell, the piston plate, and the flow control assembly define, at least partly, an apply pressure chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ball screw including a spindle nut arranged on a lead screw, and balls, which roll on ball grooves of the spindle nut and of the lead screw, and a circumferential stop on the screw side and a circumferential stop on the nut side, the spindle nut being arranged in a sleeve surrounding the ball nut, the sleeve is formed from sheet metal by shaping and the nut-side circumferential stop is formed integrally on the sleeve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor unit for determining a rotor position of an electric motor, including at least one magnetic field sensor attached to a carrier element. In the case of a sensor unit, in which the sensor system can be easily exchanged, the carrier element is positioned in a sensor system housing which is open on one side and in which a sensing area of the at least one magnetic field sensor is directed in the direction of the open side of the sensor system housing.

Abstract: In summary, provided is a wheel bearing unit having a cover element which can be used as a pre-seal to a main seal and encloses the fastening elements of the wheel flange. The outstanding sealing effect has been favored in the past, however a disadvantage in terms of assembly and dismantling is produced which the invention seeks to eliminate. Therefore one or more openings are provided which are formed in the cover. The opening or openings enable the simple dismantling or assembly of the fastening elements on the wheel flange and can advantageously also be closed, such that both the sealing effect and an easy dismantling or assembly are possible.

Abstract: The present invention is an automatic transmission equipped with at least one planetary gear set and including a single electric motor/generator having a motor output shaft; a hydrocarbon fueled engine; at least one transmission input shaft; an engine clutch operatively attached to the hydrocarbon fueled engine to the at least one transmission input shaft; a motor/generator clutch; a plurality of transmission clutches; and, a plurality of transmission clutch brakes.

Abstract: Provided is a camshaft phaser (1) having a driving member (2), a driven member (3), and a spring (4). The spring (4) is axially preloaded in the spring cavity (5).
