    摘要: An electric motor having a rotor, a stator and a thermal management system is provided. The thermal management system includes: a hollow shaft having an internal channel and one or more shaft radial channels in communication with the internal channel and extending radially outward therefrom though the shaft; a rotor coupled to the hollow shaft for rotation therewith, the rotor including axial channels extending axially through a core of the rotor and one or more rotor radial channels corresponding to and aligning with the one or more shaft radial channels, the rotor radial channels being in communication with the axial channels and the internal channel of the shaft via the shaft radial channels; wherein the electric motor is adapted to receive oil into the hollow shaft and route the same to the rotor axial channels via the one or more shaft and rotor radial channels to cool the rotor core.

    摘要: A stator assembly for an electric machine includes a plurality of stator laminations arranged in a stacked configuration and a plurality of apertures formed in each of the stator laminations. The plurality of apertures of the plurality of stator laminations are aligned to form a plurality of channels in the stacked configuration. A damping material is disposed in at least one channel of the plurality of channels to increase stiffness in the stacked configuration and reduce noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) in the electric machine.
