The invention relates to a stator module for an electric motor, especially an electric motor with transverse flux, comprising at least one stator unit that consists of at least one armature winding and which, when mounted, is associated with a rotor, whereby an interferric space is created in a radial direction in relation to the axis of symmetry of the electric motor. The invention is characterized by the following features: the stator unit comprises at least one return element that is made of a pressed material produced by means of powder metallurgy and which comprises a peripheral surface extending in a peripheral direction; two soft iron units which can be formed from tooth elements are associated with the return element, whereby substantially U-shaped cross-sectional surfaces, when seen from an axial viewpoint, are formed and the tooth elements of the individual soft iron units form the limbs of the cross-sectional surfaces; the position of the armature winding is defined by the peripheral surface of the return element, oriented towards the rotor and the self-oriented front faces of the soft iron units.

Stator module for an electric motor

A transverse flux motor includes an outer stator having a plurality of outer stator soft iron elements which are substantially disposed with uniform separation from one another. The flux motor further includes an inner stator having a plurality of inner stator soft iron elements. The inner stator further includes at least one anchor winding. The motor has a rotor which, looking at it in a section perpendicular to the axis, is built of alternating magnets and soft iron elements. The outer stator is free from anchor windings. Also, the outer stator soft iron elements are disposed in such a way that at least one gap region is provided which is larger than the space provided between the remaining neighboring stator soft iron elements. At least indirect means are provided in this region to compensate magnetic end effects.
