  • Publication number: 20240333106
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine system is equipped with a rotating shaft, a bearing for supporting the rotating shaft in a housing, and a rotor internal flow path through which a liquid coolant flows. The rotor internal flow path is formed inside a rotor and extends along an axial direction of the rotating shaft. Groove shaped flow paths are formed in the rotating shaft. The groove shaped flow paths are recessed inwardly in a diametrical direction and extend along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. An inner circumferential surface of the bearing covers the groove shaped flow paths, and thereby constitutes one portion of the rotor internal flow path.
