Abstract
An electric motor includes a stator, a rotor and a rotor carrier radially inside of the rotor non-rotatably fixed to the rotor. The rotor carrier includes an axially extending cylindrical section including an outer circumferential surface having an annular groove formed therein. A method of forming a rotor carrier includes forming, by stamping, a rotor carrier including an axially extending cylindrical section including an outer circumferential surface having annular groove formed therein.
Claims20
An electric motor comprising:
- a stator;
- a rotor;
- and
- a rotor carrier radially inside of the rotor non-rotatably fixed to the rotor, the rotor carrier including an axially extending cylindrical section including an outer circumferential surface having an annular groove formed therein.
A method of forming a rotor carrier comprising:
- forming, by stamping, a rotor carrier including an axially extending cylindrical section including an outer circumferential surface having an annular groove formed therein.
The method as recited in claim 20 wherein the cover of the torque converter includes a front cover, the rotor carrier including a radially extending section at an axial end of the axially extending cylindrical section, the fixing of the rotor carrier to the cover including fixing the front cover to the radially extending section.
