A magnet wheel for an electric motor includes a shaft and a disk made of a plastic containing magnetic particles. The disk is arranged on a carrying hub and the carrying hub is pressed onto the shaft. The carrying hub is a slotted ring around which the disk is molded on by injection molding.
1. A magnet wheel for an electric motor, comprising:
a shaft ( 2 );
a disk ( 3 ) made of a plastic containing magnetic particles; and
an annular support hub ( 4 ) on which the disk ( 3 ) is arranged, the annular support hub ( 4 ) being pressed with the shaft ( 2 ), the disk ( 3 ) being formed integrally around the annular support hub ( 4 ),
wherein the annular support hub ( 4 ) has a slot ( 5 ), the slot ( 5 ) defining a circumferential gap in the annular support hub ( 4 ), and
wherein the support hub ( 4 ) has only a single notch ( 6 ) radially on an outside portion of the support hub ( 4 ), the single notch ( 6 ) comprising one selected from the group of:
one to four cutouts ( 8 ) in the support hub, and
two knurls ( 7 ),
the single notch being arranged exclusively in a region, the ends of the region being arranged at least 90° away from the slot ( 5 ), no notch being formed in any region less than 90° to the left or right of the slot ( 5 ).
2. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support hub ( 4 ) is rolled from tape material.
3. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support hub ( 4 ) is a turned or stamped part into which the slot ( 5 ) is introduced.
4. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the notch ( 6 ) comprises the two knurls, the notch ( 6 ) is in the form of at least two impressed portions.
5. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the notch ( 6 ) comprises a single cutout ( 8 ) in the support hub ( 4 ), the single cutout ( 8 ) is arranged opposite the slot ( 5 ).
6. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the notch ( 6 ) comprises two to four cutouts ( 8 ) in the support hub ( 4 ), the two to four cutouts are arranged symmetrically with respect to the slot ( 5 ).
7. The magnet wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the disk ( 3 ) is formed around the support hub ( 4 ) by injection molding.
