<p>An electric motor coupled to a driven device of a vehicle. The electric motor 16 includes a rotor 26 and a shaft 24 coupled to the rotor 26. The rotor 26 has at least one radially oriented cavity 32, 34 and at least one fluid channel 36. The fluid channel 36 extends in a generally axial direction 38. The fluid channel 36 is fluidly connected to the at least one radially oriented cavity 32, 34. The shaft 24 has a fluid passageway 30 therein. The at least one radially oriented cavity 32, 34 has a fluid connection to the fluid passageway 30 of the shaft 24. The at least one radially oriented cavity 32, 34 leads to a radial exit 40, 42 from the rotor 26 for a flow of fluid 22 therefrom.</p> |
