  • Publication number: 20230041078
    Abstract: Rotor for an electric motor, having a rotor shaft and, mounted on the rotor shaft, a rotor core having a number of core laminations arranged along an axis of the rotor core. Each core lamination includes a central contoured aperture which is traversed by the rotor shaft and which includes at least two radially extending elevations and at least two cutouts positioned between the elevations, wherein, to form a press fit of the core laminations on the rotor shaft, a distance between the free ends of the elevations is less than a diameter of the rotor shaft, and wherein a duct extending peripherally on the rotor shaft is formed by the respective cutout in the successively arranged core laminations.

  • Publication number: 20230017431
    Abstract: An electric motor containing a board holder and an angle measuring unit with at least one Hall sensor for detecting a rotation angle and at least two hooks for receiving and holding a winding wire, wherein the angle measuring unit is designed to commutate the electric motor as a function of the detected rotation angle. The board holder contains a pot-like recess with an end face, wherein the recess and the angle measuring unit are designed such that, in an assembled state, the angle measuring unit bears against the end face of the recess such that the angle measuring unit is positioned in front of the at least two hooks in an arrow direction.

  • Patent number: 9225216
    Abstract: An electric motor, in particular a motor which can be commutated electronically, is disclosed. The motor comprises a stator with a plurality of field windings which are wound at least in places from a winding wire, and further comprises a contact grid for making contact with the field windings, which contact grid has a plurality of conductor tracks which are insulated from one another, with the conductor tracks having contacts to which the winding wire is fixed, wherein the winding wire is cut through between specific contacts such that this results in the field windings being connected in a manner which is suitable for generating a rotating field when being powered by a suitable motor controller.

  • Publication number: 20140009101
    Abstract: An electric drive is disclosed, in particular for a power tool, including a rotor, a stator, and a first coil arrangement, which is designed to drive the rotor by a first rotating field, and including a first motor control arrangement, which is designed to supply the first coil arrangement with electric current in order to generate a first rotating field. The stator has a second coil arrangement for generating a second rotating field. The second coil arrangement can be actuated and energized separately from the first coil arrangement so as to actuate the second coil arrangement in an arbitrary commutation sequence.
