Abstract: A brushless electric machine, in particular a brushless DC motor, has a stator and a rotor arranged within the stator so as to be rotatable relative thereto. The rotor has a cylindrical base body which is non-rotatably connected to a machine shaft and carries a plurality of permanent magnets on its outer circumference, and the stator has a stator winding with a plurality of single-tooth windings for driving the rotor via an electrically generated rotating magnetic field. The permanent magnets of the rotor are fixed by a thin-walled reinforcement radially surrounding them, wherein the reinforcement has a modulus of elasticity of at least 150 GPa and/or a yield strength of at least 600 MPa.

Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine, in particular for a brushless DC motor, includes a hollow cylindrical main body that is rotationally fixed to a machine shaft. The main body includes a plurality of radial protrusions arranged over its casing surface in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction and offset relative to one another by a defined offset angle. Each radial protrusion is limited over an angular range, which is smaller than the offset angle. The hollow cylindrical main body is permanently connected, in particular adhered, to a hollow cylindrical body surrounding same in the circumferential direction by way of a joining process. A method for producing a rotor for an electric machine is also disclosed.
