Abstract: A commutator for an electric machine with reciprocally insulated metal segments is described. At least one groove is made in the segments in the circumferential direction of the commutator and receives an insert formed from a precious metal or electrographite part. The axial width of the inserts only takes up part of the commutator contact surface. Alternatively two inserts are juxtaposed in each segment.
