Electric machine e.g. small power motor, for e.g. motor vehicle, has retaining unit for magnetic unit such as permanent magnet, where retaining unit has longitudinal grooves and is arranged in or at rotor and/or in or at stator of motor

The machine has a retaining unit (2) for a magnetic unit (3) such as permanent magnet, where the retaining unit has longitudinal grooves (4a, 4b) and is arranged in or at a rotor (1) and/or in or at a stator of an electric motor. The retaining unit is designed as a slot, where the longitudinal grooves serve as an inlet for filling the retaining unit. The rotor and/or the stator comprise a set of sheet metal layer merged to a laminated sheet package. Plastic (5) is inserted into the retaining unit through the longitudinal grooves, and centers the magnetic unit in the retaining unit. Elektrische Maschine mit mindestens einer Aufnahmeeinheit (2) für eine magnetische Einheit (3), wobei die Aufnahmeeinheit (2) mindestens eine an der Aufnahmeeinheit (2) angeordnete Ausbuchtung (4a, 4b) aufweist.
