Abstract

A rotor for a rotating electric machine includes a rotor sheet stack arranged on a rotor shaft, and at least one metallic functional component made of a material comprising iron and also chromium in a proportion of at least 18% and at most 19% by weight and optionally nickel in a proportion of at least 12% and not more than 13% by weight.

Claims (31)

1. A rotor for a rotating electric machine, the rotor comprising:

a rotor laminated core arranged on a rotor shaft, and

at least one metallic functional component constructed from a material comprising:

iron, and

chromium in a proportion of between 18% and 19%, inclusive, by weight.

2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the material of the at least one functional component also includes nickel in a proportion of between 12% and 13%, inclusive, by weight.

3. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the at least one functional component comprises a balancing element.

4. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the at least one functional component comprises an encoder wheel of a rotor position encoder.

5. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the rotor comprises a rotor of an externally excited synchronous machine and comprises:

a plurality of pole teeth, each supporting an exciter winding; and

grooves formed between each adjacent pair of the pole teeth.

6. The rotor of claim 5 , wherein the at least one functional component comprises a winding head cover of each exciter winding.

7. The rotor of claim 5 , wherein each functional component comprises a groove wedge arranged in a respective groove to close off the groove from an outside area.

8. The rotor of claim 5 , wherein each exciter winding is surrounded by a casting compound.

9. The rotor of claim 5 , wherein the grooves define cavities that are cast essentially completely with a casting compound.

10. A rotating electric machine, comprising:

a rotor comprising:

a rotor laminated core arranged on of rotor shaft, and

at least one metallic functional component constructed from a material comprising:

iron,

chromium in a proportion of between 18% and 19%, inclusive, by weight.

11. The rotating electric machine of claim 10 , wherein the material of the at least one functional component of the rotor also includes nickel in a proportion of between 12% and 13%, inclusive, by weight.

12. The rotating electric machine for of claim 10 , wherein the at least one functional component of the rotor comprises a balancing element.

13. The rotating electric machine of claim 10 , wherein the at least one functional component of the rotor comprises an encoder wheel of a rotor position encoder.

14. The rotating electric machine of claim 10 , wherein the rotating electric machine comprises an externally excited synchronous machine, and wherein the rotor comprises:

a plurality of pole teeth, each supporting an exciter winding; and

grooves formed between each adjacent pair of the pole teeth.

15. The rotating electric machine of claim 14 , wherein the at least one functional component rotating electric machine comprises a winding head cover of each exciter winding.

16. The rotating electric machine of claim 14 , wherein each functional component rotating electric machine comprises a groove wedge arranged in a respective groove to close off the groove from an outside area.

17. The rotating electric machine of claim 14 , wherein each exciter winding rotating electric machine is surrounded by a casting compound.

18. The rotating electric machine of claim 14 , wherein the grooves rotating electric machine define cavities that are cast essentially completely with a casting compound.
