    摘要: A hybrid drive module with a torque converter and a rotor carrier. The torque converter includes a cover made of a piece of material, an impeller and a turbine. The rotor carrier is made of a piece of aluminum different from the piece of material, is arranged to non-rotatably connect to a rotor for an electric motor, and includes a connection element. The connection element: is formed from the piece of aluminum and includes at least one rivet non-rotatably connecting the cover and the rotor carrier; or is made of a piece of non-aluminum material, partially embedded in the piece of aluminum, and non-rotatably connected to the cover.

    摘要: A torque converter is provided. The torque converter includes an impeller including an impeller shell and an impeller hub. The impeller hub extends axially parallel to a center axis of the torque converter. The torque converter also includes a stator adjacent to the impeller and an L-shaped bushing including an axially extending section and a radially extending section. The axially extending section is adjacent the impeller hub and configured for radially centering the impeller hub on the stator shaft. The radially extending section is axially between a radially extending wall of the stator and a radially extending wall of the impeller shell such that the radially extending section provides axial thrust support for the radially extending wall of the stator. A method of forming a torque converter is also provided.

    摘要: A lug for a torque converter includes a first radial segment, a second radial segment, and an axially extending connector segment. The first radial segment has a first aperture and respective first and second circumferential ends. The second radial segment has a second aperture aligned with the first aperture, a third circumferential end fixed to the first circumferential end, and a fourth circumferential end fixed to the second circumferential end. The axially extending connector segment joins the first and second radial segments. In an example embodiment, a pre-formed blank for the lug includes a line of symmetry passing through the connector segment.
