Abstract: Systems are provided for a cooling system for an electric vehicle. In one example, a system includes a shaft assembly comprising a shaft outlet flange, a shaft inlet flange, and an insert arranged in an interior volume shaped by the shaft outlet flange and the shaft inlet flange, wherein the shaft inlet flange comprises an interior volume with interior surfaces in face-sharing contact with a lance and radially aligned with a bearing and an air vent arranged in the shaft inlet flange at a position upstream of the bearing and the interior volume relative to a direction of lubricant flow.

Abstract: Systems are provided for a rotor assembly for an electric machine. In one example, a system includes a rotor shaft assembly, comprising a shaft; a shaft end cap having two co-axial concentric tracks with a trough therebetween at a first end of the shaft end cap, where the shaft end cap is coupled to the shaft via two co-axial concentric weld beads at the two co-axial concentric tracks of the shaft end cap; and a flow insert arranged in a cavity shaped by the shaft and the shaft end cap, where the flow insert is formed at least in part of plastic.

Abstract: Systems are provided for a rotor shaft assembly for an electric machine. A rotor shaft assembly includes a shaft, a shaft end cap, and a flow insert arranged in a cavity shaped by the shaft and the shaft end cap. The flow insert comprises an inner core formed of a first material; and an outer shell formed of a second material different from the first material, where the outer shell is overmolded over the inner core, and where the outer shell comprises flow channels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electric motor cooling. The cooling system, in one example, includes a sealing ring coupled to or formed in a stator and including a flange that axially extends outward from an axial side of the stator. The cooling system further includes a first sealing sleeve with a first sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and a motor housing and a second sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and the flange, where a cavity is formed between the sealing sleeve and the sealing ring in which a stator end winding is at least partially immersed in a coolant.

Abstract: Systems are provided for an electric motor. In one example, a rotor assembly of the electric motor includes a shaft, a lubricant distributor inserted into the shaft, the lubricant distributor comprising a first section comprising a plurality of first nozzles and a second section comprising a plurality of second nozzles, the lubricant distributor further comprising an overflow portion arranged between the first and second sections, and a stationary lance positioned adjacent to the first section of the lubricant distributor, the lance comprising a plurality of radial nozzles. The rotor assembly controls coolant flow towards the rotor and bearings, helping to decrease drag losses.
