  • Patent number: 12597812
    Abstract: A motor assembly includes a brushless electric motor including a motor stator and a motor rotor configured for rotating within the motor stator. The motor stator includes a plurality of windings. The brushless electric motor also includes a rotor shaft non-rotatably connected to the motor rotor for rotating with the motor rotor and a resolver position sensor including a resolver stator and a resolver rotor configured for rotating within the resolver stator. The resolver rotor is non-rotatably connected to the rotor shaft for rotating with the rotor shaft. The resolver stator generates a signal based on a rotational position of the resolver rotor. The brushless electric motor also includes a rotor shaft bearing coupled to the rotor shaft and a bearing support supporting the rotor shaft bearing to allow the rotor shaft to rotate with respect to the bearing support.

  • Patent number: 12276325
    Abstract: A hybrid module includes a rotor carrier, a torque converter, and a thrust bushing. The rotor carrier includes an axially extending portion and a radially extending portion extending radially inward from the axially extending portion. The torque converter includes an impeller having an impeller shell fixed to the rotor carrier and an impeller hub fixed to the impeller shell. The impeller hub extends in an axial direction away from the radially extending portion of the rotor carrier to a distal end. The thrust bushing is connected to the impeller hub. The thrust bushing includes an axial portion in contact with the impeller hub and a radial portion extending radially outward from the axial portion. The radial portion is in contact with the distal end.
