Abstract
A compact, low maintenance, simple-design drive motor (1) for a vehicle wheel (2), rotatably mounted on a running gear (8), is obtained by virtue of the fact that an external rotor motor (1) is provided as the drive motor. The external rotor (3) of the external rotor motor (1) is designed as a wheel support and is rotatably mounted on the running gear (8) and on the stator laminations (4). Stator laminations (4) of the external rotor motor (1) are mounted in the external rotor (3) and nonrotatably mounted on the running gear (8).
Claims14
A drive with an external drive rotor motor for a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
- an external rotor designed as a wheel support rotatably mounted radially outward on a running gear link of the vehicle, the running gear link surrounding the external rotor;
- and
- stator laminations nonrotatably mounted on the running gear link, the stator laminations mounted in the external rotor and connected by a torque support with the running gear link.
