PERMANENT-MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR AND ELECTRIC POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM

The present invention relates to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, particularly an electric three-phase motor, comprising a stator having a stator yoke in which stator teeth with interposed stator grooves are arranged, wherein on each stator tooth at least one winding is provided, further comprising a rotor having permanent magnets, wherein the stator teeth are arranged in layers as disks in the axial direction of the stator and designed at least as two different disks, wherein the stator teeth in a first disk are connected peripherally among each other at the ends thereof pointing toward the rotor in the form of a stator star by a connecting bridge and in a second disk have an interruption instead of the connecting bridge. The present invention further relates to an electric power-assisted steering system.
