The invention relates to a rotating electrical machine with an external rotor having a permanent magnet assembly. The invention also relates to a stator of a rotating electric machine of this type. In order to increase the performance and/or reduce the weight and/or installation space, a permanent magnet assembly is provided having segments with changing magnetisation directions in such a way that the magnetic flow is increased over the inner casing surface of the hollow cylinder facing the stator and therefore in the air gap and it is reduced over the opposing outer casing surface. For the stator of a drive unit of this type, stator teeth of a trapezoidal shape are proposed, having an outwardly increasing tooth width, wherein a respective coil winding is arranged on the stator teeth.

In a method for mounting a prefabricated form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil on a layered laminated core to form a stator segment or stator, the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil is insulated with insulation. Laminates are punched and stacked to form partial laminated cores and/or a laminated core, with the partial laminated cores being spaced apart from one another by spacers and forming substantially axially extending open slots of the laminated core. The form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil are radially inserted into the slots such as to embrace a tooth of the laminated core, and a removable auxiliary element is placed at an axial end face of the laminated core to protect the insulation of the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil as the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil is radially inserted into the slots. The auxiliary element is radially removed and repositioned on a further tooth of the laminated core.
