Abstract:
An integrated assembly adapted to mount in a vehicle between an engine, having a crankshaft assembly extending therefrom, and a transmission, having a transmission input shaft and stator shaft extending therefrom, the integrated assembly comprising:a housing adapted to mount between the engine and the transmission; a torque converter assembly, located within the housing and adapted to mount adjacent to the engine, with the torque converter assembly including a cover adapted to rotatably couple to the crankshaft assembly, and an impeller rotationally coupled to the cover, and with the impeller including an impeller hub adapted to mount about the stator shaft; and a motor-generator, located within the housing adjacent to the impeller and adapted to mount between the torque converter assembly and the transmission, with the motor-generator having an ISG stator supported by the housing, an ISG rotor support mounted and rotatable relative to the housing, and with an ISG rotor mounted on the ISG rotor support adjacent to the ISO stator, and at least one flexible member located and connected between the ISG rotor support and the impeller such that the ISG rotor is rotationally coupled to the impeller.
