Patent ID: 6930428

Claim:
An assembly of an electric machine with at least two abutting circular ring or circular disk-shaped sheet metal layers ( 12 ), wherein each of the sheet metal layers ( 12 ) is formed by several circular ring or circular disk-shaped sheet metal segments ( 10 ) which are arranged concentrically about a centre axis (M), of which two each are abutting under the formation of a connecting joint ( 14 ) and comprise a predetermined minimum cross-sectional area (A) in the radial direction, and with the sheet metal segments ( 10 ) of abutting sheet metal layers ( 12 ) partially overlapping one another in the circumferential direction, characterised in that the sheet metal segments ( 10 ) of abutting sheet metal layers ( 12 ) are joined by welds ( 20 ) distributed along the circumferential area, with the number of welds ( 20 ) between a connecting joint ( 14 ) of two sheet metal segments ( 10 ) of a sheet metal layer ( 12 ) and a connecting joint ( 14 ) of two sheet metal segments ( 10 ) of a neighbouring sheet metal layer ( 12 ) being calculated in such a manner that the sum of the effective areas of these welds ( 20 ) is at least approximately equal to the predetermined minimum cross-sectional area (A) of the sheet metal segments ( 10 ).
