Abstract

The invention relates to a rotor (10) for an electric motor, in particular for a multi-phase or single-phase electric motor, comprising a permanent-magnetic ceramic rotor cylinder (1) made of an imperforate solid material and provided with moulded-on plastic elements (5) on at least the cylinder end faces (3), which elements carry axially projecting shaft portions (6) for rotatably journalling the rotor (10), the cylinder end faces (3) being formed with recesses and the moulded-on plastic elements (5) engaging in the recesses (4).

Claims

1. A rotor for an electric motor, in particular for a multi-phase or single-phase electric motor, comprising:

a permanent-magnetic ceramic rotor cylinder made of an imperforate solid material and including first and second cylinder end faces, said end faces each having at least one recess formed therein;

first and second moulded-on plastic elements on the first and second cylinder end faces, which elements engage said recesses and include axially projecting shaft portions for rotatably journalling the rotor; and

wherein the recesses comprise diametrically extending grooves.

3. An electric motor comprising a rotor as claimed in any one of the claims 1 to 2.

2. A rotor for an electric motor, in particular for a multi-phase or single-phase electric motor, comprising:

a permanent-magnetic ceramic rotor cylinder made of an imperforate solid material and including first and second cylinder end faces, said end faces each having at least one recess formed therein;

first and second moulded-on plastic elements on the first and second cylinder end faces, which elements engage said recesses and include axially projecting shaft portions for rotatably journalling the rotor; and

wherein the recesses comprise radially extending grooves.
