Abstract

The present invention relates to a miniature electrical drive (1), in particular a rotating field drive with permanent magnet excitation, having a stator (2) and a soft-magnetic return path element (6) which cylindrically surrounds the stator (2) and has a multiplicity of sheet-metal laminates (22) which are in the form of annular disks and are arranged in layers to form a cylindrical laminated core (20). The sheet-metal laminates (22) in the laminated core (20) are held prestressed exclusively with a force fit and in an interlocking manner in the axial and radial directions, and without adhesive or integral joint means such as this, in a supporting sleeve (24) which coaxially surrounds said sheet-metal laminates (22).
