Patent ID: 8742642

Claim:
An electric motor with permanent magnet excitation, comprising: a stator, which has a pole housing ( 28 ) and permanent magnets ( 31 ) held on the pole housing ( 28 ), with flux guidance elements ( 300 ) being associated with said permanent magnets, fastening means for fastening the permanent magnets ( 31 ) and the flux guidance elements ( 300 ) being provided on the inside ( 307 ) of the pole housing ( 28 ), characterized in that at least one permanent magnet ( 31 ) and one flux guidance element ( 300 ) are arranged so as to engage in one another in a form-fitting manner in such a way that, in a fitted state, a form-fitting connection is produced between the permanent magnet ( 31 ) and the flux guidance element ( 300 ) in a radial direction, and characterized in that a radially outer edge ( 310 ) of the permanent magnet ( 31 ) and an edge ( 314 ) of the flux guidance element ( 300 ), said edge being offset radially inwards, lie on opposite sides of a radial ( 312 ) through the contact region between the permanent magnet ( 31 ) and the flux guidance element ( 300 ).
