Disclosed is a rotor (1) for an electric rotor motor, consisting of a rotor bell (2) with a peripheral wall (4) and at least one one-sided rotor base (6) to enclose a stator, in particular as a part of a motor housing with a high IP rating, for example IP54 per DIN/IEC-EN 60034-5. The rotor bell (2) features a heat sink (12) with high heat conductivity that extends through the rotor base (6) in such a way that the motor heat arising on the inside can be removed via the heat sink (12) through the rotor base (6) to the outside into the environment. Further, the invention relates to an electric rotor motor, in particular with an encapsulated motor housing with a high IP-protection system, for example IP54 per DIN/IEC-EN 60034-5, consisting of a stator and a rotor (1) enclosing the stator in an embodiment of the above-described type.
