Abstract:
A hybrid module includes a torque converter, an electric motor, a cover plate, a connecting pin, a piston, and a pressure plate. The torque converter includes a turbine and an impeller, arranged together to form a hydrodynamic torus. The electric motor includes a rotor with a rotor carrier drivingly engaged with the impeller. The cover plate is fixed to and radially inside of the rotor carrier, and includes a tubular portion with an orifice. The connecting pin is sealed to the tubular portion and extends through the orifice. The piston is disposed on a first axial side of the cover plate, is fixed to the connecting pin, and is arranged to engage a torque converter clutch, and the pressure plate is disposed on a second axial side of the cover plate, opposite the first axial side, is fixed to the connecting pin, and is arranged to engage a K0 clutch.
