A canned motor providing a rotor having a rotor shaft; a can having a
cylindrical wall which is closed at one end; and a stator, the
cylindrical wall of the can being inserted between the rotor and the
stator. To measure the rotational position and, where applicable, the
number of revolutions of the rotor, the invention provides a resolver
integrated in the canned motor which has a resolver rotor that rotates
with the rotor and a stationary resolver stator, the cylindrical wall of
the can also lying between the resolver rotor and the resolver stator.
The resolver enables the rotational position of the rotor, in particular,
to be precisely measured as well as the number of revolutions, and
thereby enables the motor to be regulated as basically known from the
field of electronically commutated DC motors.
