  "abstract": "A holder for mounting a magnet wheel which consists of a brittle magnet body, in a simple manner, firmly onto the rotor shaft of an electromotive drive. The magnet body is placed, with a sliding seat, and in a merely self-centering manner, onto the rotor shaft and is then axially and tangentially fixed in position on the rotor shaft with a holding part. The holding part is arranged in front of the magnet body and is pushed, with a force fit, onto the motor shaft. The holding part is connected, in form-locked manner, with the magnet body.",
  "claims": [
    "1. In an electromotive drive having a rotor shaft with an outer surface, an assembly comprising: a) a magnet body, the magnetic body having a shaft opening corresponding to, and slightly larger than the outer surface of the rotor shaft, whereby when the magnet body is placed on the rotor shaft in a centering manner, pressure and tensile stresses do not result; and b) a holding part, the holding part in form-locked and tangential contact connection with the magnet body, arranged axially adjacent to the magnet body, and pushed into an axially and tangentially fixed position on the rotor shaft thereby axially and tangentially securing the magnet body on the rotor shaft, wherein the magnet body includes a first end side and a second end side and has grooves formed therein, and wherein the holding part includes a bushing, the bushing i) being mechanically coupled with the first end side of the magnet body, and ii) having axially protruding holding arms, which extend through the grooves of the magnet body and rest against the second end side of the magnet body.",
    "2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the axially protruding holding arms of the bushing are snap hooks.",
    "3. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the bushing of the holding part is a plastic bushing.",
    "4. The assembly of claim 3 wherein the holding arms are integral components of the plastic bushing.",
    "5. In an electromotive drive having a rotor shaft with an outer surface, an assembly comprising: a) a magnet body, the magnetic body having a shaft opening corresponding to, and slightly larger than, the outer surface of the rotor shaft, whereby when the magnet body is placed on the rotor shaft in a centering manner, pressure and tensile stresses do not result; and b) a holding part, the holding part in form-locked and tangential contact connection with the magnet body, arranged axially adjacent to the magnet body, and pushed into an axially and tangentially fixed position on the rotor shaft thereby axially and tangentially securing the magnet body on the rotor shaft, wherein the magnet body includes a first end side and a second end side and has a groove formed therein, and wherein the holding part includes i) a metal disk, the metal disk being mechanically coupled with the first end side of the magnet body, and ii) a spring clip, the spring clip being mounted axially adjacent to the metal disk, and having axially protruding holding arms which extend through the groves of the magnet body and rest against the second end side of the magnet body.",
    "6. The assembly of claim 5 wherein the metal disk is a brass disk.",
    "7. The assembly of claim 5 wherein the spring clip includes an inner surface dimensioned such that it can be placed on the rotor shaft free of force fit and wherein the spring clip is in form-locked rotating engagement with the metal disk via the axially protruding driving arms.",
    "8. In an electromotive drive having a rotor shaft with an outer surface, an assembly comprising: a) a magnet body, the magnetic body having a shaft opening corresponding to, and slightly larger than, the outer surface of the rotor shaft, whereby when the magnet body is placed on the rotor shaft in a centering manner, pressure and tensile stresses do not result; and b) a holding part, the holding part in form-locked and tangential contact connection with the magnet body, arranged axially adjacent to the magnet body, and pushed into an axially and tangentially fixed position on the rotor shaft thereby axially and tangentially securing the magnet body on the rotor shaft, wherein the magnet body includes a first end side and a second end side and has a groove formed therein, and wherein the holding part includes i) a first retaining clip resting against the first end side of the magnet body, ii) a second retaining clip resting against the second end side of the magnet body, and iii) a connecting web connecting the first retaining clip with a second retaining clip and engaging the grove of the magnet body, and wherein the magnet body includes a further groove, and wherein ends of the first and second retaining clips opposite the connecting web are each provided with axial driving webs which engage into the further groove of the magnet body.",
    "9. The assembly of claim 8 wherein the first and second retaining clips, the connecting web, and the axial driving webs are parts of an integral stamped and bent part placed on the magnet body as preformed snap part.",
    "10. The assembly of claim 9 wherein the first and second retaining clips, the connecting web, and the axial driving webs are parts of an integral stamped and bent part bent over the magnet body.",
    "11. In an electromotive drive having a rotor shaft with an outer surface, an assembly comprising: a) a magnet body, the magnetic body having a shaft opening corresponding to, and slightly larger than, the outer surface of the rotor shaft, whereby when the magnet body is placed on the rotor shaft in a centering manner, pressure and tensile stresses do not result; and b) a holding part, the holding part in form-locked and tangential contact connection with the magnet body, arranged axially adjacent to the magnet body, and pushed into an axially and tangentially fixed position on the rotor shaft thereby axially and tangentially securing the magnet body on the rotor shaft, wherein the magnet body includes a first end side and a second end side and has a groove formed therein, and wherein the holding part includes i) a first retaining clip resting against the first end side of the magnet body, ii) a second retaining clip resting against the second end side of the magnet body, and iii) a connecting web connecting the first retaining clip with a second retaining clip and engaging the grove of the magnet body, and wherein the first and second retaining clips and the connecting web are parts of an integral stamped and bent part placed on the magnet body as a preformed snap part.",
    "12. The assembly of claim 11 wherein the first and second retaining clips and the connecting web are parts of an integral stamped and bent part bent over the magnet body."
