    Abstract: A method to make a stator lamination of an axial flux motor for an automobile vehicle includes: constructing a stator having multiple stator stack members, including: providing a stator lamination with individual ones of the stator stack members; forming the stator lamination from a single lamination sheet of steel defining a sinuous-shaped assembly having multiple bends; compressing the stator lamination; and machining the stator lamination to create a first edge by removing a first portion of the multiple bends and to create a second edge opposite to the first edge by removing a second portion of the multiple bends.

    Abstract: An axial flux motor drive unit for an automobile includes a stator defining a core, an output defining an axis of rotation, a first rotor, a second rotor, and a thrust bearing. The first rotor is rotatable about the axis of rotation and is coupled to the output and disposed relative to the stator to create a first air gap. The second rotor is rotatable about the axis of rotation and is coupled to the output and is disposed relative to the stator to create a second air gap. The thrust bearing is coupled to the output and supports axial loads that are substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, and the first rotor is still rotatable about the axis of rotation when the second rotor is inoperable, and the second rotor is still rotatable when the first rotor is inoperable.

    Abstract: A fluid-cooled axial flux motor having a stator, a rotor disposed adjacent to the stator, and a rotor shaft rotationally fixed onto the rotor. The rotor shaft includes axial coolant passageway having an inlet and opposite outlet. The rotor includes coolant passageways extending radially from rotor shaft. The rotor coolant passageways include an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the axial coolant passageway and an outlet. The fluid-cooled axial flux motor further includes a coolant distribution header having an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the rotor coolant passageway, a coolant collection header having an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the coolant distribution header, and a collection header outlet. The outlet of the coolant distribution header is disposed above the stator and the inlet of the coolant collection header is disposed below the stator with respect to the direction of gravity.

    Abstract: A disturbance cancellation and generation seat system includes a seat mounted to a structure of a vehicle. The seat is accelerated due to a disturbance acceleration received in the structure and transferred to the seat. A seat control unit generates a force cancellation command signal. An actuation device is connected to the structure and is in communication with the seat control unit. The actuation device in response to receipt of the force cancellation command signal induces a cancellation acceleration motion into the seat which is equal but opposite to and therefore cancels an acceleration motion of the seat induced by the disturbance acceleration.
