Abstract
The invention relates to an electromotor comprising a stator part and a rotor part, which parts form an oil-containing spiral groove bearing system. Surface areas of said parts are provided with a so-called oil barrier in order to prevent the oil from creeping from the bearing system to the environment. According to the present invention, said oil barrier comprises a monolayer of perfluorocarboxylic acid anions, especially those having a chain length of 10-20 C-atoms and/or perfluoroalkylthiol anions. Oil barriers of this type can be easily provided on the rotor part and stator part by means of dipping. These oil barriers have a very small thickness and can very suitably be used to prevent oil creepage.
