Abstract:
An electric machine (10) includes a stator assembly (50) and a rotor (16) positioned within the stator assembly. The electric machine (10) further comprises a rotor carrier (20), and the rotor (16) is mounted on an outer surface (62) of the rotor carrier (20). The rotor carrier (20) includes a hub portion (22), a radial portion (24) extending from the hub portion (22), a first cylindrical portion (60) extending from the radial portion, and a second cylindrical portion (66) extending from the first cylindrical portion. The hub portion (22), the radial portion (24), the first cylindrical portion (60) and the second cylindrical portion (66) are provided as an integrally formed unitary component. An engine disconnect clutch (30) and a transmission clutch (40) are positioned within the rotor carrier (20).
