Patent ID: 8523726

Claim:
A hybrid drive for a motor vehicle comprising: a combustion engine; a transmission ( 26 ) having a transmission input shaft ( 6 ) being connectable with the combustion engine; an electric machine being positioned between the combustion engine and the transmission ( 26 ), and the electric machine having a stator ( 2 ) and a rotor ( 3 ) which interact with the transmission input shaft ( 6 ) and which is also rotatably supported within a transmission enclosure input part ( 4 ); the transmission input shaft ( 6 ) being supported by a bearing journal ( 27 ) of the transmission housing input part ( 4 ) via a fixed radial bearing ( 7 a ) and a spaced loose radial bearing ( 7 b ); the rotor ( 3 ) being connected, in a rotationally fixed manner, via a rotor carrier ( 11 ) to an extension ( 28 ) of the transmission input shaft ( 6 ) protruding from the bearing journal ( 27 ); and a radial shaft seal ( 18 ) being positioned at an end of the bearing journal ( 27 ), facing the rotor ( 3 ), and forming a seal between the bearing journal ( 27 ) and the rotor carrier ( 11 ) so that the rotor ( 3 ) in the hybrid drive housing ( 1 ) is sealed with respect to and separated from transmission oil lubricating and cooling the fixed and the loose radial bearings ( 7 a , 7 b ); wherein a bearing circlip ( 16 ) axially fixes the fixed radial bearing ( 7 a ) to the bearing journal ( 27 ), and only the circlip ( 16 ) is axially located between an outer ring of the fixed radial bearing ( 7 a ) and an outer ring of the loose radial bearing ( 7 b ).
