  • Publication number: 20230344289
    Abstract: A laminated core set for a rotor, having at least one first laminated core and at least one second laminated core, each having internal toothing for fastening to a rotor shaft and forming a magnet carrier. The magnet carriers have recesses for receiving magnets. A circumferential orientation is a relative position between the recesses and the internal toothing of a laminated core and the circumferential orientation of the first laminated core is different from the circumferential orientation of the second laminated core. A rotor for an electric machine is provided having such a laminated core set and a rotor shaft to which the laminated core set is attached such that the recesses of axially adjacent laminated cores are arranged rotated by a predetermined angular offset.
