Abstract

An electric motor having a cup-shaped motor housing for containing a shaft and a motor cover that closes the motor housing. The motor cover has a peripheral section extending essentially radial to the shaft and an inner section extending essentially axial to the shaft. The inner section at least partially, radially encloses a bearing for supporting the shaft. The electric motor is fastened to a connecting block in order to be connected to a subassembly to be rotated by the shaft. The peripheral section of the motor cover and the connecting block touch each other on at least one support. The motor housing and the connecting block are axially clamped in relation to each other by means of a clamping element. The peripheral section of the motor cover is axially connected to the motor housing in detent fashion.
