Abstract

A laminated core can be contained in a rotor and/or in a stator and include at least one first sheet metal part assembly and at least one second sheet metal part assembly. The two sheet metal part assemblies are arranged alternately lying one against the other in a stacking direction. Every first sheet metal part has first teeth projecting from a connecting part radially relative to the axis of rotation. Correspondingly, every second sheet metal part has second teeth projecting from a second connecting part. The first teeth extend from the axis of rotation at a distance different from how far the second teeth extends from the axis of rotation to form a step to mesh the rotor with an associated stator and increase the air gap between them without increasing dimensions of the laminated cores in the stacking direction.
