Abstract

A rotor for an electrical machine, comprising: a rotor stack with a plurality of pole teeth and windings around the pole teeth, a plurality of groove wedges, which are arranged radially above the windings, in grooves between the pole teeth, characterised in that a support element is arranged in the grooves between the windings and radially between the groove wedges and the rotor stack.

Claims (17)

1. A rotor for an electrical machine, comprising:

a rotor stack with a plurality of pole teeth and windings around the pole teeth,

a plurality of groove wedges being arranged radially above the windings, in grooves between the pole teeth and

a support element

being arranged in the grooves between the windings and radially between the groove wedges and the rotor stack,

having at least one recess for compensating for an unbalance of the rotor,

having a clamping point being operatively connected to the rotor stack and

being clamped between the groove wedge and the rotor stack via the clamping point.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the support element has at least one tooth extended in a radial direction with respect to the groove wedge, wherein the at least one tooth is operatively connected to the groove wedge.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping point of the support element is located in a radial direction with respect to the rotor stack.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the support element has a recess adjacent to the windings.

5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the support element has at least one recess in a radial direction in order to save weight.

6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the pole tooth has an end portion that protrudes beyond the windings in a circumferential direction with respect to the support element and said end portion has a holding region that is engaged with the groove wedge.

7. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the support element is shaped to be compressed by the groove wedge to support the groove wedge and hold the groove wedge in position.

8. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one tooth extends over a region of the support element.

9. A vehicle with an electric motor, with a rotor according to claim 1 .

10. A vehicle with an electrical machine, with a rotor according to claim 1 .
