Abstract: An electric motor, in particular for a kitchen machine, is proposed, wherein the rotor of the electric motor comprises a mounting device for mounting permanent magnets inserted in the rotor. The mounting device has a base body and flexible fixing elements projecting from the base body for fixing the permanent magnets, which press the permanent magnets in the radial direction against corresponding stops. Alternatively or additionally, the mounting device can form receiving chambers for receiving overdosed adhesive when bonding the permanent magnets. Further, a kitchen machine having a corresponding electric motor is proposed. Furthermore, a method for assembling an electric motor is proposed in which a permanent magnet is adhesively bonded.
