Abstract
An arrangement with an electric motor facilitates mounting of the motor, particularly of a miniature or subminiature motor. The motor () has a stator (), a rotor (), and a support flange () coupled to the motor. A motor mount () is formed with an opening () for engagement with the support flange (). The opening has, on its rim, a motor-side shoulder () that has a substantially frustoconical shape and faces axially toward the motor () after mounting. The support flange () is shaped for guidance of a snap-lock element () that extends along at least a portion of the circumference of the support flange () and is resiliently deflectable radially inward, by means of an inwardly directed force. The snap-lock element () is so configured that it snap-locks outward against the motor-side shoulder () of the opening () when the motor is mounted.
