    摘要: Power takeoff devices (PTOs) are useful for mounting on transmissions and for performing, directly or indirectly, useful work via the mechanical energy generated by the PTO's rotatable output shaft. Systems and methods for reducing PTO gear rattle include an input gear carried on a shaft sleeve mounted on a shaft extending between opposing spaced apart walls of a PTO housing. The shaft sleeve is moveable in an axial direction along the shaft, the travel of the shaft sleeve in each direction being limited by contacting the respective wall. The shaft sleeve is biased to remain spaced apart from the walls, thereby reducing or eliminating gear rattle.

    摘要: An input member and a differential gear mechanism include a part arranged on an axial first side with respect to a rotary electric machine. The differential gear mechanism is connected to first wheel via shaft member including part that is arranged on axial second side with respect to differential gear mechanism. A case includes an outer peripheral support portion that is formed along core outer peripheral surface that is an outer peripheral surface of stator core, and that supports core outer peripheral surface in radial direction. A notch portion in which outer peripheral support portion is notched over entire area of arrangement area of stator core in an axial direction is formed in outer peripheral support portion, and notch portion is arranged at position that is between core outer peripheral surface and shaft member in radial direction, and that overlaps shaft member as seen in radial direction along radial direction.
