  • Rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric motor
    Patent number: 12101000
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric machine. The rotor carrier includes a hollow outer shell that includes a bearing area for a rotor lamination stack, the bearing area extending axially along the rotor carrier. The outer shell extends radially outward in a radial dimension that varies along the bearing area in the axial direction of the rotor carrier (101) in such manner that at the axial end sections of the bearing area exhibits no peak contact pressures between the rotor carrier and the rotor lamination stack when the rotor lamination stack is pressed against the bearing area of the rotor carrier. A rotor including the rotor carrier and the rotor lamination stack is also disclosed.
