  • Patent number: 10224772
    Abstract: A rotor of an electric motor includes a laminated armature core, a shaft, magnets arranged on the circumference of the laminated armature core, and a plastic overmold. The laminated armature core has at least one associated channel on the circumference of the laminated armature core for each magnet. The channels extend parallel to the shaft, and the laminated armature core has radially oriented webs on the circumference. The webs (8) extend parallel to the shaft and a magnet (9) is arranged between each pair of webs (8), and the plastic overmold (4) encloses the laminated armature core (1) and the magnets (3) to such an extent that only the radial outer face of the magnets (3) is free of plastic (4).

  • Patent number: 9306437
    Abstract: A method for producing a stator for an electrical machine as an internal rotor, in particular an electric motor. This method involves providing a multiplicity of separate pole teeth, which are wound. The ends of the winding wire of the pole teeth are connected to one another to create a flexible annular pole tooth assembly, and the flexible assembly is inserted into an injection mold and centered. The assembly located in the mold is encapsulated or sealed in a molding compound. In this way, a dimensionally stable stator with particularly good insulating properties can be produced.

  • Patent number: 9024495
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor that includes a main body on which a support surface is formed, to which a permanent magnet element is attached. The main body is partially surrounded by a joining sleeve having chamber walls. The chamber walls together with the support surfaces form a chamber in which the permanent magnet element is arranged. The joining sleeve fixes the position of the permanent magnet element in a radial direction on the main body and a locking element is molded onto the main body. The locking element closes the chamber fixing the position of the permanent magnet element in the axial direction on the main body.
