The motor (16) has a stator (22), and a rotor (24) that is rotatably supported in the stator. The stator comprises of stator windings (34) and a protection sleeve (38), where the stator windings surround the protection sleeve. The protection sleeve is made of vapor sterlizable material. An air gap (60) is formed between the stator and the rotor. The protection sleeve directly adjoins at the air gap. The protection sleeve exhibits a thickness of maximum 0.5 millimeter, and is made of oxide ceramic. The stator is designed in a form of a longitudinal extended sleeve. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing the electrical surgical motor.
