The invention relates to a winder for a strip-type material, preferably a metal strip, in metalworking, said winder comprising: at least one winding spindle (101, 300a, 300b) provided for winding the strip-type material, and a drive (200a, 200b) comprising an electric motor, preferably a torque motor or a synchronous motor, with a stator and a rotor (3, 201a, 201b). According to the invention, the winder also comprises a housing (103, 302), the rotor (3, 201a, 201b) is connected to the winding spindle (101, 300a, 300b), whereby the rotation of the rotor (3, 201a, 201b) is transmitted to the winding spindle (101, 300a, 300b), and the stator is directly mounted on the housing (103, 302) and/or the rotor (3, 201a, 201b) is directly connected to the winding spindle (101, 300a, 300b) or a shaft of the winding spindle (101, 300a, 300b).
