Abstract
A double-rotor single stator axial flux machine, which is supplied having no bearings between the rotors and stator internal of the machine, is mounted to an external structure such as an interface of an engine of a vehicle or a portion of the transmission of a vehicle. The machine is mounted to the structure via the shaft of the machine (on which are seated bearings located in the structure) and the stator housing. The bearings of the structure, which are external to the machine, permit the rotors to rotate relative to the stator when the machine is installed on the structure.
