Electromagnetic rotary drive

An electromagnetic rotary drive, comprising:

• a magnetically contactlessly drivable rotor free of coils, the rotor comprising a magnetically active core and being free of permanent magnets;
• and
• a stator configured as a bearing and drive stator configured to drive the rotor magnetically and contactlessly about an axis of rotation,
• the rotor capable of being supported magnetically contactlessly with respect to the stator in an operating state, and the stator comprising an upper stator part having a plurality of pronounced upper poles configured to carry upper windings and a lower stator part having a plurality of pronounced lower poles configured to carry lower windings, the upper stator part and the lower stator part being arranged spaced apart from one another with respect to an axial direction and a permanent magnet being disposed between the upper stator part and the lower stator part.
