Abstract
An axle assembly having a spigot bearing assembly. The spigot bearing assembly may extend between a motor housing and a rotor output flange that may be fixedly mounted to a rotor. The spigot bearing assembly may rotatably support the rotor output flange and may inhibit deflection of the rotor. A spigot bearing biasing member may exert a biasing force on the spigot bearing assembly.
Claims20
An axle assembly comprising:
- a motor housing that extends between a differential carrier and a motor cover;
- a rotor that is rotatable about an axis;
- a rotor output flange that is fixedly mounted to the rotor;
- a first rotor bearing assembly and a second rotor bearing assembly that are disposed on the differential carrier and rotatably support the rotor;
- and
- a spigot bearing assembly that extends between the motor cover and the rotor output flange and rotatably supports the rotor output flange to inhibit deflection of the rotor.

An axle assembly comprising:
- a motor housing that extends from a differential carrier to a motor cover;
- a rotor that is received in the motor housing and is rotatable about an axis;
- a rotor output flange that is fixedly mounted to the rotor and is at least partially received in the motor cover;
- a first rotor bearing assembly and a second rotor bearing assembly that are disposed on the differential carrier and rotatably support the rotor;
- a spigot bearing assembly that extends between the motor cover and the rotor output flange and rotatably supports the rotor output flange;
- and
- a spigot bearing biasing member that exerts a biasing force on the spigot bearing assembly to inhibit skidding of the spigot bearing assembly.
