An in-wheel motor system, wherein the non-rotating side case of a motor
and a knuckle are connected to each other by a motor attachment plate
(11), a knuckle attachment place (12), and a damper (16) for
interconnecting these plates (11) and (12), moving in the vertical
direction of a vehicle. A first direct-acting guide (13) consisting of a
linear bearing (13A) and a rod (13B) and a second direct-acting guide
(14) consisting of a linear bearing (14A) and a rod (14B) are integrally
attached to an attachment member (12m) installed on the side face of the
knuckle attachment plate (12). Also, spring members (15) and (15) are
installed between receiving members (11m) and (11m) for supporting both
ends of the rod (14B) of the second direct-acting guide (14) installed on
the motor attachment plate (11) and the fixing portion (12k) for fixing
the second direct-acting guide 14 of the attachment member (12m). Thus,
the rigidity of a buffer mechanism float mounting the in-wheel motor to a
part around the wheel of the vehicle can be increased.
