Hybrid vehicle traction driveline gearing has evolved over the last decade or so to match ever increasing speeds for their motors and generators. Auto manufacturers are using increased speed as a means to increase power density of their electric traction motors in vehicles. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is also pursuing traction motor designs that have much higher maximum rotor speeds, in the range of 15,000 – 25,000 rpm.
