Abstract
An electrically variable transmission includes an output shaft that drivingly connects to a hybrid vehicle's final drive system and an input shaft that drivingly connects to an engine. A transfer gear set drivingly connects to both the output shaft and a first motor. A rolling bearing includes an inner race circumscribed by an outer race, which is rigidly attached to the transmission's housing. A planetary gear set includes a sun gear that drivingly connects to a second motor, a ring gear drivingly connected to the transfer gear set, and a planet carrier drivingly connected to the input shaft. Located radially inward of the transfer gear set is an inverted bearing mount device that includes an annular outer disk, which is rigidly attached to the ring gear, and a cylindrical central hub, which projects axially from the outer disk and is rigidly attached to the inner race of the rolling bearing.
