The stator has a plurality of annular coils which are arranged in coaxial relationship, and a ferromagnetic stator core which includes a plurality of individual laminations which are aligned radially or arranged in a star shape.

Abstract: In a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machine, a pole gap and a skew of permanent magnets on the rotor are designed such that oscillating torques which are caused by the fifth and seventh harmonics of the stator field and of the rotor field are mutually reduced. In particular, the skew can be chosen as a function of the pole gap, such that the majority of the respective oscillating torques is neutralized. This results in minimal torque ripple.

The electric machine has a coil body and a winding with a plurality of turns wound on the coil body. Each of the various turns is located in a separate plane. Respective end sections of two different turns are connected by a connecting element, with a major directional component of the connecting element being oriented in an axial direction perpendicular to the plane of one of the two turns. Axially adjacent turns can thereby be connected to one another together. This arrangement reduces or eliminates empty spaces in the slots, particularly when the turns are made from flat wire.

Permanent magnets are arranged on a circumferential surface of the basic body to thereby form magnetic poles. Each magnetic pole is formed in a circumferential direction by at least two permanent magnets and defined by a pole center and a pole edge, wherein the pole edge is spaced from the center of the basic body at a distance which is smaller than a distance of the pole center to the center of the basic body. Positioned in sections between the pole centers of adjacent pole are filling elements, with a banding securing the filling elements on the permanent magnets in such a way that the rotor has a substantially cylindrical circumferential surface.
