Abstract

A rotor sheet includes a central cut-out and is divided into a plurality of sectors, each including a first half sector and a second half sector delimited from the first half sector by a radial central line, wherein a through-opening configuration, which has two parallel edge lines extending along an extension direction, is formed inside the first half sector, and a further through-opening configuration, mirror-symmetrical to the through-opening configuration with respect to the central line, is formed inside the second half sector, wherein the first through-opening configuration includes a relief through-opening inscribed inside an incircle-free trapezoid having two bases extending parallel to the central line and two legs extending on a first straight line having a first angular spacing from the central line, and on a second straight line having a second angular spacing from the central line, wherein the first and second straight lines intersect at an acute angle.
