A rotor assembly for a hybrid module includes a rotor carrier, a rotor segment, an end ring, a first spacer, a second spacer, and a compressed spring. The rotor carrier includes a first outer cylindrical surface and a radial surface, and the rotor segment is installed on the first outer cylindrical surface. The end ring is fixed to the rotor carrier and arranged for fixing to an engine flexplate. The first spacer is disposed axially between the rotor segment and the radial surface, and the second spacer is disposed axially between the rotor segment and the end ring. The compressed spring is disposed axially between the end ring and the second spacer to press the first spacer, the second spacer, and the rotor segment against the radial surface for frictional torque transmission between the rotor segment and the rotor carrier.

An EC motor is provided having a stator, in which an armature is rotatably supported, the armature including an armature shaft, on which an armature core having a plurality of permanent magnets is held, the armature core being electrically insulated against the armature shaft with the aid of a casting compound, and a balance ring being provided on at least one axial end of the armature core, which is accommodated on the armature shaft by a central recess, a gap between the armature shaft and the central recess of the balance ring being filled with casting compound, and the permanent magnets being held in pockets of the armature core by casting compound.

Various methods and systems are provided for a system for cooling an electric motor. The cooling system includes a primary coolant passage through a rotor shaft linked to a plurality of secondary passages though lamination stacks of a rotor configured to receive coolant at a central region of the lamination stacks.

A rotor includes a shaft extending in an axial direction, a cylindrical magnet portion provided at an outer peripheral portion of the shaft, a cylindrical scattering-prevention member provided so as to cover an outer peripheral surface of the magnet portion, a first balancing member provided at one end of the magnet portion in the axial direction, and a second balancing member provided at the other end of the magnet portion in the axial direction from which one end side of the shaft extends in the axial direction and having a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the scattering-prevention member and the second balancing member has an end surface in contact with the magnet portion, the end surface being not surrounded by the scattering-prevention member.

An electric machine includes a rotor, a stator, and an air gap formed between a magnetic device of the rotor and the stator. For the selective setting of the air gap, movement devices implemented by piezoelectric stacks are provided on the rotor and/or on the stator. The movement devices may influence radial positions of the respective magnetic device and thus set the radial air gap width. It is thereby possible to exert open-loop and/or closed-loop control over a power or torque of the electric machine without adjusting stator currents. Vibration or unbalance of the rotor may also be counteracted quickly and effectively during operation of the machine.

A rotor includes an assembly of laminations including a plurality of radially-projecting poles, a winding of electrically conductive wires to be wound around each pole by means of wire-guiding heads arranged axially on either side of the lamination assembly. A guiding head support is inserted between the lamination assembly and each guiding head such that: an internal radial face of the support abuts against an external radial face at an axial end of the lamination assembly; and a peripheral surface of the support, which projects axially outward from the internal radial face of the support, is in contact with a contact face of the guiding head that is orientated radially outward from same, the guiding head abutting against the peripheral surface of the support.
