Abstract
A hybrid module includes a housing with a bulkhead wall, a K0 shaft, a rotor assembly, a rotor carrier and a first bearing. The K0 shaft is arranged for driving connection with a crankshaft. The rotor assembly has an electric motor rotor and a thrust surface for a K0 clutch. The K0 clutch is arranged to drivingly connect the rotor assembly to the K0 shaft. The rotor carrier is fixed to the rotor assembly and the first bearing is arranged to rotationally separate the bulkhead wall and the rotor carrier. In an example embodiment, the first bearing is a deep groove ball bearing. In an example embodiment, the hybrid module includes a seal installed in the bulkhead wall and contacting the K0 shaft. In an example embodiment, the hybrid module includes a bushing installed on the K0 shaft and arranged for contacting an inner bore of the crankshaft.
