Claim 19:
20. An electric valve, comprising:
an electric machine including a rotor and a stator, the stator cooperating with the rotor during operation;
a valve body drivingly connected to the rotor;
a valve seat cooperating with the valve body;
a housing in which the rotor and the stator are arranged;
a split pot arranged in the housing and fluidically separating a dry region from a wet region in the housing;
the rotor arranged in the split pot;
the stator surrounding the split pot radially on an outside in a circumferential direction;
the split pot protruding beyond an axially outer front side of the stator;
a spring assembly including at least one spring and an opening, the split pot protruding axially through the opening;
wherein the spring assembly is coupled to the housing and rests on the front side of the stator such that the spring assembly mechanically impinges on the stator radially and axially;
wherein the opening has an elliptical shape when the spring assembly is in an untensioned state; and
wherein the opening has a circular shape when the spring assembly is in a tensioned state.
