Claims
- 1. A brushless motor,
having a rotor which can rotate about a rotation axis and has a specific number of magnetic poles which are distributed uniformly around the rotation axis and each extend along a slot pitch; having a stator which is arranged coaxially with respect to the rotor and has three stator teeth for each two magnetic poles, which stator teeth are distributed uniformly around the rotation axis, with center points of mutually adjacent stator teeth being separated from one another by one slot pitch; wherein the stator teeth have free surfaces which are opposite the magnetic poles, and wherein each stator tooth is provided with a single projecting element which extends radially from the respective free surface in the direction of the rotor.
- 2. The motor as claimed in claim 1, with each projecting element being in the form of a profiled tooth, having an extent in the circumferential direction of the stator which corresponds essentially to the distance between two stator teeth, and having a radial size such that the cogging torque is as low as possible.

- 11. The motor as claimed in one of claims 1, which contains a large number of laminations which are bundled together axially and form corresponding sectors as magnetic poles, two of which in each case form a seat for a permanent magnet.
- 12. A brushless motor,
having a rotor which can rotate about a rotation axis and has a specific number of magnetic poles which are distributed uniformly around the rotation axis and each extend along a slot pitch; containing a large number of laminations which are bundled together axially and form corresponding sectors as magnetic poles, two of which in each case form a seat for a permanent magnet; having a stator which is arranged coaxially with respect to the rotor and has three stator teeth for each two magnetic poles, which stator teeth are distributed uniformly around the rotation axis, with center points of mutually adjacent stator teeth being separated from one another by one slot pitch; wherein the stator teeth have free surfaces which are opposite the magnetic poles, and wherein each stator tooth is provided with a single projecting element which extends radially from the respective free surface in the direction of the rotor; whereby each projecting element essentially being in the form of an equilateral trapezoid, with the smaller base surface facing the rotor and the circumferential size being measured on the center line between the smaller and the larger base surface.
- 13. The motor as claimed in claim 12, with each projecting element being in the form of a profiled tooth, having an extent in the circumferential direction of the stator which corresponds essentially to the distance between two stator teeth, and having a radial size such that the cogging torque is as low as possible.
