Abstract
A drum commutator for electrical machines has an isolating material drum and a plurality of commutator plates composed of an electrically conductive material, the commutator plates being mounted on a periphery of the isolating material drum near one another and electrically separated from one another by axial slots, each of the commutator plates being provided with a surface coating composed of carbon material and with a connecting lug for an armature winding of an electrical machine, each of the commutator plates having at least one depression at its lower side placed on the isolating material drum and being also provided with a radial passage which opens in the depression and has a reduced size relative to the depression, the carbon material of the surface coating filling the passage and the depression as a one-piece structure.
