A rotor for an electric motor that includes a main body on which a support surface is formed, to which a permanent magnet element is attached. The main body is partially surrounded by a joining sleeve having chamber walls. The chamber walls together with the support surfaces form a chamber in which the permanent magnet element is arranged. The joining sleeve fixes the position of the permanent magnet element in a radial direction on the main body and a locking element is molded onto the main body. The locking element closes the chamber fixing the position of the permanent magnet element in the axial direction on the main body.
1. A rotor for an electric motor, comprising:
a basic body having a plurality of bearing surfaces;
a plurality of permanent-magnetic elements each attached to a respective one of the bearing surfaces of the basic body;
a joining sleeve having a plurality of chamber walls arranged to at least partially surround the basic body, the chamber walls and the bearing surfaces forming chambers in which respective ones of the permanent-magnetic elements are arranged, the joining sleeve fixing the permanent-magnetic elements in position on the basic body in a radial direction; and
a locking element injection-molded onto the basic body, the locking element closing the chambers and fixing the permanent-magnetic elements in position on the basic body in an axial direction,
wherein the basic body further comprises a plurality of channels that extend axially over the basic body and each separate two of the plurality of bearing surfaces from one another, the chamber walls of the joining sleeve being configured to engage respective ones of the plurality of channels,
wherein each of the plurality of channels has an undercut and at least one of the chamber walls has an anchor element formed thereon, each anchor element configured to positively engage in the undercut, and
wherein only every n th one of the plurality of chamber walls has a respective anchor element that positively engages in the undercut of a corresponding channel, where n is a natural number greater than 1.
2. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein n=2.
3. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the basic body is a magnetically conductive material.
