  • Patent number: 12003141
    Abstract: An electric drive motor has a stator with at least one electrically energizable stator winding, and a rotor which is mounted in a rotationally driveable manner in the field of the at least one stator winding so as to leave free an annular gap. The motor also has a motor shaft and a magnet carrier which is arranged coaxially in relation to the motor shaft and has at least one permanent magnet which is arranged on an outer periphery of the magnet carrier. The motor shaft and the magnet carrier are of integral design by way of the motor shaft and the magnet carrier being jointly produced from an individual starting metal sheet by shaping to form an integrally shaped rotor body. There is also described a wet-rotor pump and a domestic appliance having an electric drive motor of this kind.
