Electric motor
An electric motor comprises a cylindrical housing, a stator comprising multiple stacked metal sheets and mounted in the housing, and a rotor which sits on a shaft, which is rotatably mounted in a respective bearing shield provided at a first end or at a second end of the housing. The housing is die cast. The stator protrudes into a wall of the housing with a depth. The depth is smaller than a thickness of the wall. A method for producing such an electric motor is also disclosed.
1. An electric motor comprising
a cylindrical housing,
a stator comprising multiple stacked metal sheets and mounted in the housing,
a rotor seated on a shaft rotatably mounted in a respective bearing shield provided at a first end or at a second end of the housing,
wherein housing is die cast and the stator projects into a wall of the housing with a depth, wherein the depth is smaller than a thickness of the wall,
wherein multiple channels for a cooling medium are formed in the wall of the housing;
wherein the housing is materially connected to a bearing shield at the first end or at the second end of the housing, and
wherein multiple channels are formed in the bearing shield, which are fluidly connected to the channels in the wall of the housing for a circulation of the cooling medium.
2. The electric motor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the stacked metal sheets of the stator have multiple teeth formed on an outer circumference which protrude into the wall of the housing.
3. The electric motor according to claim 2 , wherein the teeth include a hook with at least one barb.
4. The electric motor according to claim 2 , wherein the teeth have a shape that is at least one of a rectangle, a trapezoid, and a triangle.
5. The electric motor according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is die cast from aluminum.
