Abstract: A rotor assembly includes a rotor for an electric motor, a rotor carrier non-rotatably connected to the rotor, a rotor carrier flange, and a split spring. The rotor carrier includes a groove and a castellated portion and the split spring is disposed in the groove and arranged to clamp the rotor carrier flange against the castellated portion. The split spring may include an annular portion disposed in the groove and a tapered portion extending radially inwards from the annular portion. The split spring may also include a cut portion separating opposite circumferential ends of the annular portion.

Abstract: A rotor for a hybrid drivetrain includes a rotor carrier, at least one rotor segment, and a torque converter. The rotor carrier has a first tubular portion with an outer surface, and an annular portion with a first through hole. The at least one rotor segment is installed on the outer surface. The torque converter has an impeller with a first shell and a plurality of first blades fixed to the first shell, a cover with a second shell fixed to the first shell to form a hydraulic chamber and a fastener fixed to the second shell and extending through the first through hole, and a turbine disposed in the hydraulic chamber and including a third shell and a plurality of second blades fixed to the second shell.

Abstract: An electric motor arranged for mounting to a combustion engine includes an axis of rotation, a hub, a first plate, a second plate, and a rotor. The first plate is fixed to the hub at a first radially inner diameter, the second plate is fixed to the first plate at a radially outer diameter and arranged for fixing directly to a crankshaft of the combustion engine at a second radially inner diameter, and the rotor is fixed to the hub at the first radially inner diameter. In an example embodiment, the first radially inner diameter is radially offset from the second radially inner diameter.

Abstract: An electric motor rotor for a hybrid module includes a rotor carrier, a piston carrier, and a tapered snap ring. The rotor carrier includes a first inner circumferential surface with an inner spline for receiving a first plurality of clutch plates, a second inner circumferential surface, radially outside of the first inner circumferential surface, a radial wall connecting the first inner circumferential surface to the second inner circumferential surface, and a groove with a conical wall. The piston carrier includes a radial outer ring installed between the groove and the radial wall. The tapered snap is ring installed in the groove and urges the piston carrier into contact with the radial wall.
