Abstract: The invention relates to a commutator (1) comprising electrically conductive commutator segments (12), which are disposed about a rotational axis (10) in a manner free of a pressing material body, and which are electrically insulated from each other by means of an air gap (14) disposed between two adjacent commutator segments (12), characterized in that a fixing means (42) applied to the commutator (1) in a flowable phase in a form-free manner is cured after a flow process between two commutator segments (12) adjoining in the circumferential direction about the rotational axis (10), and that the position of the commutator segments (12) is fixed by the cured fixing means (42), and to a power tool having an electric motor comprising such a commutator, and to a method for the production of a commutator.

Abstract: In the case of a plug-in commutator with a hub body (1) consisting of an electrical isolation material and having evenly distributed and positioned grooves of like design over its circumference, in which each of the segments (5)--of like design--which form the commutator path, is inserted by forming a form-fit connection in radial direction, the segments (5) are safeguarded from a shift in relation to the hub body (1) by a clamping force that is based on an overdimension (x, z) of the segments (5) and/or of material parts of the hub body (1) that facilitate the positioning of the segments (5). Only in the area of the two end sections (18, 21) of the segments (5) and/or the grooves is the overdimension (x, z), which determines the clamping force exerted on the segments (5), provided.
