An electrical drive comprising stationary outer and inner stators; a rotatably mounted rotor with at least one pot-shaped element having a cylindrical wall and a base wall, wherein the cylindrical wall is thin-walled and made of magnetic material, wherein the base wall extends perpendicular and a cylindrical coaxial to a rotor shaft axis and the base wall is connected to the rotor shaft for transfer of torque; at least one electrical excitation coil; and a plurality of permanent magnet elements secured to the rotor for producing an excitation flux, wherein the magnet elements rest only against a radially inner side of the cylindrical wall and in the circumferential direction are disposed next to one another, wherein the magnet elements, together with the stators, form magnetic circuits that pass radially entirely through the cylindrical wall, and wherein the radial thickness of the magnet elements is greater than the thickness of the cylindrical wall.
