Abstract

The invention relates to a brush-commutated electrical machine. The machine includes a rotor with rotor coils which are arranged on rotor poles. The machine also includes a commutator with commutator laminations which are electrically connected to the rotor coils, and having two brushes which are arranged offset in relation to one another, with the result that the brushes alternately commutate when the rotor moves. The machine also includes a stator having stator poles which are arranged in the circumferential direction and at least some of which are provided with stator magnets, wherein the stator poles are designed and/or arranged such that an alternating stator magnetic field which is generated by said stator poles in the circumferential direction is formed differently depending on the pole direction of the respective stator pole.
