Abstract
An axial flux machine is provided with an integrated clutch assembly, which is housed within the bore of an annulus-shaped stator of the machine. First and second rotors, located either side of the stator are attached to the clutch basket of the clutch assembly, and rotate in unison relative to the stator. A machine housing is provided between the stator and an engagement face of the clutch basket, seated on bearings between the clutch basket and machine housing, to provide a rigid structure.
