  • Patent number: 9461524
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine supplied with air for cooling purposes. The air is heated during operation of the electric machine and is removed in the form of exhaust air. The electric machine is equipped with a fan wheel (70) which is coupled to a rotor of the electric machine. To improve and to simplify the operation of the electric machine, the fan wheel (70) is designed as a precise steel part with a sensor device (71) for detecting a rotational speed of the fan wheel (50; 70) and thereby detecting a rotational speed of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 8851216
    Abstract: A component housing in a motor-vehicle drive train is sealed by pressurization of the housing interior. The component is a hybrid module (1) comprising at least one electric machine provided between the combustion engine (VM) and the gearing (G) of the motor-vehicle drive train. The pressurization is achieved by a rotating component (R, RA, M, F) of the hybrid module. The rotating component is designed in a manner similar to an impeller of a centrifugal pump. Therefore, rotation of the component builds up a positive pressure (P) on the radially outer region of the rotating component in the region of the housing (GE) in the interior of the hybrid module.
