  • Patent number: 11962226
    Abstract: A rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric machine and to a hybrid module with such a rotor carrier. The rotor carrier includes a tubular base body having elements on an outer circumferential surface facing the rotor for connection between base body and rotor, the base body is connected to a hub by a connection element. The connection element has an axial portion which extends along a part of the axial length of the base body and runs coaxial to the latter, in that receptacles for parts of a clutch are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the axial portion remote of the base body, and in that the connection element has a flange area adjoining the axial portion.
