The laminations, independent of the configuration of the sectors, each have a shaft bore, an identical number of poles or sectors, axially aligned cut-outs and an identical outer diameter. Sectors of a first configuration have elements for distributing a potting compound or an adhesive within the laminated core, and sectors of a second configuration have retaining elements for mechanical strength of the laminated core. The flux barriers and gaps running substantially axially between the permanent magnets and the laminated core surrounding same, are filled with the adhesive and/or a potting compound. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A rotor of a dynamo-electric permanently excited machine, the rotor comprising: a laminated core including laminations and having substantially axially running, circumferentially closed cut-outs which have regions of pockets and flux barriers, with retaining elements projecting at least partially into the cut-outs;
