A central thrust washer for all planets of a planetary carrier of a planetary gear that is geometrically designed such that it engages in recesses in the annulus gear or the drive wheel or is connected to planetary wheel bearings of the planetary carrier so as to prevent any relative movement. For this purpose, at least one fixing element is provided on the thrust washer.

Thrust washer for a transmission

An electric machine having a rotor and a stator that encloses the rotor. The stator is closed at its end faces by flanges. A slot insulation is applied in an axial direction to the stator and has means of centering the rotor and/or the flanges with respect to the stator.

Electric machine having slot insulation with flange arrangement

The present invention provides an inner rotor electric motor, in which the stator core is divided into a plurality of stator segments extending in an axial direction which are accommodated in corresponding stator casing segments. The stator segments are preferably constructed in an identical manner; the corresponding stator casing segments are also preferably substantially identical to each other. Means of connection to mechanically connect the stator segments and the corresponding stator casing segments is provided as well as means of electrically coupling the phase windings.
