Patent ID: 7015603

Claim:
An electric motor comprising: a housing, at least one rotor provided with magnetized regions and mounted rotatably about a rotor axis on bearing supports of the housing, a stator having at least one stator unit, each of said at least one stator unit including a set of first pole shoes, formed as claw poles, and a set of second pole shoes, formed as claw poles, said first and second sets of pole shoes being disposed around the rotor axis, a coil positioned following the rotor in the direction of the rotor axis and with coil windings arranged to encircle the rotor axis, for magnetizing the first and second pole shoes, each of said at least one stator units having two pole shoe elements: a first pole shoe element having a first pole shoe carrier which extends transversely with respect to the rotor axis and is disposed on a side of the coil facing the rotor, the first pole shoes formed integrally onto the first pole shoe carrier such that the first pole shoes extend away from the first pole shoe carrier in a first direction approximately parallel to the rotor axis, and a second pole shoe element having a second pole shoe carrier which extends transversely with respect to the rotor axis and is disposed on a side of the coil facing away from the rotor, the second pole shoes formed integrally onto the second pole shoe carrier such that the second pole shoes also extend in the first direction away from the second pole shoe carrier approximately parallel to the rotor axis beyond the rotor, and a bearing support made of plastics being molded onto the second pole shoe carrier of the stator unit and is thereby secured to the second pole shoe carrier.
