Stator for an electric motor and method for the production thereof

A stator for an electric motor, the stator comprising:

• a star-shaped laminated core formed from a number of stacked stator sheets, some of said stator sheets being closed stator sheets being closed in a circumferential direction and having pole shoe webs and single teeth connected to one another by means of said pole shoe webs, others of said stator sheets being open stator sheets being open in the circumferential direction and having single teeth spaced apart from one another to form a gap on a pole shoe side, a starting block, at a bottom in a stacking direction, being formed by at least one of said closed stator sheets, said starting block being adjoined by a repeat block having said open stator sheets and said closed stator sheets in N identical repeat sequences, each of the identical repeat sequences containing n directly consecutive said open stator sheets and at least one said closed stator sheet, said star-shaped laminated core further having a terminating block containing at least one said closed stator sheet and an intermediate block disposed between said repeat block and said terminating block, said intermediate block, depending on a specified total sheet stack height, containing at least one of none of said stator sheets, one of said closed stator sheets or m of said open stator sheets, where 1≦m≦n−1.
