Abstract

A method of forming a pole wheel connected to a wheel hub of a motor vehicle and a corresponding apparatus are described. A magnetically permeable, prefabricated pole wheel is placed in a mold for forming the wheel hub, and the mold is filled with a melt composed of a magnetically impermeable material in the solidified state. The melt fills the apertures formed between adjacent teeth of the pole wheel, while a shape of the pole wheel is substantially maintained.
