A rotor structure for an electric motor includes a cylindrical rotor core assembly and a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on an outer circumference of the rotor core assembly. Wrapped around the rotor core assembly is a bandage to secure the permanent magnets in place, wherein the bandage has a bandage edge arranged in proximity of an end surface of the rotor core assembly. In order to securely fix the bandage edge in place, a securing ring is disposed radially over the bandage edge of the bandage to hold the bandage against the rotor core assembly.

Securing assembly of bandages for synchronous motors with outer permanent magnets

An electric machine, includes a stator with a laminated stator body having winding end portions potted in a cast, and a rotor for interaction with the stator. In order to cope with the increased heat development in the zone of the winding end portions compared to the zone of the stator body, the cast of the winding end portions is formed with surface-enlarging structures in heat-conducting contact with a cooling jacket or with a cooling medium, and/or the cast is provided at least partially with a heat-conducting envelope which carries off heat.
