Abstract

Rotor, in particular permanent magnet rotor, for an electric machine, having a magnet support, a plurality of magnets which are arranged on the magnet support, and a rotor core which is arranged between a shaft and the magnet support, wherein the rotor core comprises plastic.

Claims (27)

1. A rotor for an electric machine, comprising:

a magnet support;

a plurality of magnets which are arranged on the magnet support; and

a rotor core which is arranged between a shaft and the magnet support, the rotor core comprising plastic,

wherein the rotor core comprises an inner circumferential face and an outer circumferential face;

wherein the outer circumferential face of the rotor core comprises profilings;

wherein the profilings comprise elevations; and

wherein the profilings on the outer circumferential face are oriented in a longitudinal direction with respect to the rotor.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core has a thickness in the radial direction of at least 10% and of at most 50% of the radius of the rotor.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of magnets are arranged individually on the magnet support.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of magnets are configured as permanent magnets.

5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the magnet support comprises a magnetically conductive material.

6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core comprises profilings on its inner circumferential face, wherein the profilings on the inner circumferential face comprise at least one of elevations and recesses.

7. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core comprises openings which are oriented in the axial direction.

8. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core comprises radial spokes.

9. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core has an unbalance.

10. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor core comprises an axially projecting ring.

11. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein plastic is arranged between the individual magnets of the plurality of magnets.

12. The rotor according to claim 11 , wherein a peripheral surface of the plurality of magnets is at least partially free from plastic.

13. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the profilings comprise recesses.

14. A rotor for an electric machine, comprising:

a magnet support;

a plurality of magnets which are arranged on the magnet support; and

a rotor core which is arranged between a shaft and the magnet support, the rotor core comprising plastic,

wherein the rotor core comprises profilings on its outer circumferential face;

wherein the profilings comprise elevations and recesses; and

wherein the profilings on the outer circumferential face are oriented in at least two of the following directions: longitudinal direction, circumferential direction, and obliquely with respect to the rotor.
