Power transmission device for hybrid vehicle
A power transmission device for a hybrid vehicle may include: an engine part; a transfer part configured to transfer power of the engine part; a motor part configured to provide power to the transfer part, and driven when power is applied thereto; and a plurality of torsion damper parts disposed between the engine part and the motor part, and connected in series.
Hybrid module
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.
