The rotor of an electrical motor should be designed simply and able to be efficiently cooled. To this end, the invention relates to an electrical motor having a rotor that has at least one radial cooling slot () and axially running cooling channels. The first cooling channels () run having their central axis at a different radial height opposite the axis of the rotor () than the second cooling channels (). A spacer () is arranged in the at least one radial cooling slot () by means of which a first cooling stream () can be conducted from one of the first cooling channels () into one of the second cooling channels (). A second partial package (T) in the flow direction can also be supplied with cool air in this way if it flows through the first partial package (T) in a cool region, such as near the shaft.
