An axle assembly having a differential carrier, a differential assembly, and a lubricant deflector. The differential assembly is mounted to the differential carrier and is rotatable about a differential axis. The lubricant deflector is mounted to the differential carrier and directs lubricant that is splashed or sprayed by a ring gear of the differential assembly into a lubricant passage of the differential carrier.

Axle assembly having a lubricant deflector

An axle assembly and a method of manufacture. The axle assembly may include a differential carrier and a bearing support wall. The differential carrier may be made of a first material. The bearing support wall may be mounted to the differential carrier and may be made of a second material. The second material may have a greater stiffness than the first material.

Axle assembly having an electric motor module and method of manufacture

An axle assembly having a drop gear set and a countershaft transmission. The drop gear set may operatively connect a rotor of an electric motor to a countershaft. The countershaft transmission may operatively connect the countershaft to a drive pinion. The electric motor and the countershaft transmission may be positioned on opposite sides of a differential assembly.

Axle assembly having a multi-speed transmission and a drop gear set

An axle assembly having a countershaft transmission. The countershaft transmission may operatively connect a rotor shaft of an electric motor to a drive pinion that may be rotatable about a drive pinion axis. The electric motor and the countershaft transmission may be positioned on opposite sides of a differential assembly.

Axle assembly having a multi-speed transmission

An axle assembly having an electric motor module and a terminal box that may facilitate mounting of at least one phase cable. The phase cable may be secured to a terminal box cover with a terminal box clamp. The phase cable may extend through a phase block that may be mounted to the terminal box.

Axle assembly having an electric motor module and a terminal box

A drivetrain system including an axle assembly that may have an electric motor module, a gear reduction module, a drive pinion, a differential assembly, an auxiliary shaft, and a shift collar. The shift collar may selectively couple the auxiliary shaft, the drive pinion, and the gear reduction module in various combinations.

Drivetrain system having an axle assembly

An axle assembly having an electric motor module that may be operatively connected to a planetary gear set. A lubricant catching ring may be mounted to a planet gear carrier of the planetary gear set. A deflector may deflect lubricant through a lubricant opening in a wall of a shift mechanism housing.

Axle assembly having lubricant distribution features

An axle assembly having a countershaft transmission. The countershaft transmission may operatively connect an electric motor to a drive pinion. The countershaft transmission may have a first countershaft subassembly that is rotatable about a first countershaft axis and a second countershaft subassembly that is rotatable about a second countershaft axis.

Axle assembly having a multi-speed countershaft transmission

An axle assembly having an electric motor module and a method of assembly. The electric motor module may include a motor housing, a coolant jacket that may be received in the motor housing, and stator windings that may be disposed in the coolant jacket. A mounting flange of a differential carrier may receive a portion of the coolant jacket.

Axle assembly having an electric motor module and method of assembly

An axle assembly having a countershaft transmission. A rotor shaft may extend through a drive pinion and may operatively connect an electric motor to a countershaft transmission. The countershaft transmission may have a first countershaft subassembly that is rotatable about a first countershaft axis and a second countershaft subassembly that is rotatable about a second countershaft axis.

An axle assembly having a resolver and a method of assembly. The axle assembly may include an electric motor module that may be mounted to a differential carrier. The electric motor module may have a motor cover that may be disposed opposite the differential carrier. The resolver may be mounted to a side of the motor cover that may face away from a rotor.

Axle assembly having a resolver and a method of assembly

An axle assembly having a spigot bearing assembly. The spigot bearing assembly may extend between a motor housing and a rotor output flange that may be fixedly mounted to a rotor. The spigot bearing assembly may rotatably support the rotor output flange and may inhibit deflection of the rotor. A spigot bearing biasing member may exert a biasing force on the spigot bearing assembly.
