Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor ( 21 ) includes a stator ( 30 ) and a rotor ( 40 ). The stator includes a housing ( 31 ) accommodating magnet(s) ( 32 ) and including multiple sidewalls ( 33 ) and connecting portions ( 34 ) adjoining neighboring sidewalls. A sidewall includes zero or more flat segment ( 35, 38 ) and zero or more curved segments ( 38, 36 ) having one or more radii. A connecting portion includes a substantially flat segment or a curved segment having one or more radii and adjoins two neighboring sidewalls. A torque transmitting device ( 15 ) includes the motor and a clutch ( 22 ) actuated by the motor to transmit or cease transmitting engine ( 11 ) output to driven mechanism(s) ( 17, 18, 12, 13, 14 ). A powertrain includes the torque transmitting device to switch between drive modes with the torque transmitting device to engage or disengage engine output with axles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A torque transmitting device, comprising: a clutch assembly including a driving member and a driven member; and a motor operatively coupled to one of the driving member and the driven member of the clutch assembly and configured to engage the driven member with the driving member, the motor including: a rotor including a shaft and a field coil wound around a portion of the shaft; and a stator surrounding at least a portion of the rotor and includi…
