## Abstract

An electric drive motor includes a stator with pole shoes and at least one electrically actuable stator winding, a permanent-magnet rotor mounted in a rotationally driveable manner in the field of the stator winding defining an annular gap therebetween, a motor shaft, a magnet carrier disposed on the motor shaft and being produced in one piece as an injection-molded part, and a plurality of separate permanent magnets disposed on and distributed over the circumference of the magnet carrier. The permanent magnet rotor has a tensioning or clamping device for pressing the plurality of permanent magnets outwards in radial directions towards against an inner wall of a cavity in an injection mold of the magnet carrier during injection molding of the magnet carrier. A domestic appliance having the electric drive motor is also provided.
