Abstract

A method of applying at least one magnet to a surface of a component made of a magnetic material includes placing the at least one magnet in a holding apparatus, and positioning the holding apparatus in the immediate vicinity of the component. A holding element applies a holding force to the at least one magnet to hold it in the holding apparatus. The holding element is deactivated such that the holding force is reduced, and the at least one magnet is transferred to the surface of the component. A holding apparatus for applying at least one magnet to a surface of a component made of a magnetic material includes a surface region for supporting the at least one magnet and at least one deactivatable holding element for applying a force on the at least one magnet.

Dependent claims

Method of applying at least one magnet to a surface of a component made of a magnetic material, comprising:

placing the at least one magnet in a holding apparatus,
positioning the holding apparatus in an immediate vicinity of the component,
holding the at least one magnet in the holding apparatus by a holding element applying a holding force to the at least one magnet such that the at least one magnet does not contact the surface of the component, and
deactivating the holding element such that the holding force is reduced and the at least one magnet is transferred to the surface of the component by a magnetic force of the at least one magnet to the component, wherein the component is a rotor of an electric motor, the electric motor includes a stator, and the surface of the component is a rotor surface facing in a direction of the stator.
