Systems for electric motor cooling

An electric motor, comprising:

• a rotor shaft;
• a lubricant distributor inserted into the rotor shaft, the lubricant distributor comprising a plurality of first nozzles configured to lubricate bearings and a plurality of second nozzles configured to lubricant rotor laminations;
• a static lance having a plurality of radial nozzles, the lance extending into a conduit of the rotor shaft interior to the lubricant distributor;
• and
• an air gap arranged between the lubricant distributor and the static lance.

A method for an electric motor, comprising:

• flowing lubricant through a static lance to a lubricant distributor;
• generating a first film on an inner diameter of the lubricant distributor of the electric motor via air from an axial air intake channel;
• and
• cooling bearing via the first film.
