Abstract
Constructional unit includes an electric machine with a stator and with a rotatable rotor, a rotatable output element operatively communicates with the rotor to transmit torque, and an offset arrangement. The offset arrangement is arranged between the rotor and the output element, and the transmission of torque is enabled in case of an axial offset and/or an angular offset between a rotational axis of the rotor and a rotational axis of the output element.
Claims15
A constructional unit comprising:
- an electric machine having a stator and with a rotatable rotor;
- a rotatable output element that operatively communicates with the rotatable rotor to transmit torque;
- and
- an offset arrangement arranged between the rotatable rotor and the rotatable output element, wherein the offset arrangement comprises:
- a drive element;
- a driven element;
- and
- at least one flexible element functionally arranged between the drive element and the driven element,
- wherein the transmission of torque is enabled in case of an axial offset and/or an angular offset between a rotational axis of the rotatable rotor and a rotational axis of the rotatable output element, and
- wherein the drive element and the driven element have respective cutouts, which in pairs, form a receptacle, wherein the elastic element is arranged inside the receptacle.
