Abstract

To provide a rotor for electromechanical applications that has improved magnetic properties, high mechanical stability, and / or a long service life. [Solution] The rotor 10 includes a plurality of recesses 12 spaced radially apart from each other to form a flux barrier, the recesses 12 extending in a U-shape from the outer circumference 14 of the rotor toward the rotor center 16 to a vertex 18 and back to the outer circumference 14 of the rotor. The recesses 12 are divided into an odd number of recess regions 22 by an inner bridge 20, and in each recess 12, one central recess region 22a and two outermost recess regions 22b are not filled with filler, and between the central recess region 22a and the outermost recess regions 22b there is at least one recess region 22c filled with magnetic filler. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an electromechanical device or a drivetrain for an automobile comprising the rotor 10 described above and at least partially electrically driven.
