MOTOR UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246407 titled 'MOTOR UNIT

The abstract describes a motor unit with two rotating shafts, each driven by gears and supported by bearings in a casing.

  • The motor unit includes a first rotating shaft with a first gear, supported by first bearings, and a second rotating shaft with a second gear, supported by second bearings.
  • The second bearings are positioned between the first bearings in an axial direction parallel to the rotating shafts.
  • Each second bearing consists of an outer ring, an inner ring, and a rolling element for smooth rotation.
