A friction clutch for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle engine to a transmission input shaft of a motor vehicle transmission includes a lamina, an axially movable contact plate, and a plurality of friction disks. The lamina has a first friction surface facing in a first axial direction, and a second friction surface facing in a second axial direction, opposite the first axial direction. The contact plate has a plurality of holders arranged to hold the lamina. Each of the holders forms a positive connection with the lamina in the circumferential direction, and each of the first friction surface and the second friction surface is frictionally connectible to a friction disk to transmit torque. A first friction disk is arranged to be positioned between a counter plate and the lamina, and a second friction disk is positioned between the lamina and the contact plate.

An electric motor includes a rotor rotatable about a center axis; and a rotor carrier including an outer circumferential surface having a varying diameter defined by radially inner surface sections and radially outer surface sections. The radially outer surface sections are bonded to an inner circumferential surface of the rotor by an adhesive. A hybrid module configured for arrangement in the torque path upstream from a transmission and downstream from an internal combustion engine includes the electric motor and a torque converter including a front cover. The rotor carrier is fixed to the front cover.

A clutch carrier includes a first component and a second component. The first component has an undulating ring, a cylindrical ring, and a connector portion. The undulating ring has an inner surface, and an outer surface for mating engagement with a clutch plate spline. The connector portion is between the undulating ring and the cylindrical ring. A plurality of apertures are defined at least partially in the connector portion. The second component has a first radial wall, a plurality of segments, and a plurality of formable tabs. The plurality of segments extend axially from the first radial wall and contact at least a portion of the inner surface to radially position the second component within the first component. The plurality of formable tabs extend from the first radial wall through the plurality of apertures.

An electric machine includes a stator assembly, a rotor positioned within the stator assembly, and a rotor carrier coupled to the rotor. The rotor carrier includes a hub portion, a first cylindrical portion coupled to the hub portion and defining a first diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the rotor, and a second cylindrical portion extending from the first cylindrical portion and defining a second diameter that is greater than the inner diameter of the rotor. A first clutch is positioned within the rotor carrier and engages an inner surface of the first cylindrical portion of the rotor carrier. A second clutch is positioned within the rotor carrier and engages an inner surface of the second cylindrical portion of the rotor carrier.

An input drum of an automotive transmission for motor vehicles is formed from a plurality of components assembled together. The input drum has a hub having outwardly extending tabs, and a clutch cylinder having internal grooves for receiving the tabs when the hub is assembled to the clutch cylinder. The hub and the clutch cylinder are arranged such that openings in the hub and openings in an inwardly extending circumferential flange of the clutch cylinder are in axial alignment when the tabs of the hub are received in the internal grooves of the clutch cylinder. The hub and clutch cylinder are assembled together by connecting elements extending through the aligned openings in the hub and clutch cylinder. An input shaft is permanently or removably attached to the hub.
