Patent ID: 11355992

Abstract:
An electric machine (10) has a rotor (15) and a stator (11). The rotor (15) has a rotor shaft (16) and a rotor laminated core (17). The stator (11) has a housing (12) with a housing cover (14) and a stator laminated core (13). The rotor shaft (16) is mounted rotatably in the housing (12) via bearings (18, 19). Each bearing (18, 19) has a bearing inner ring (18a, 19a) that bears against the rotor shaft (16), and a bearing outer ring (18b, 19b) that bears against the housing (12). Sections (24) of the housing (12) against which the respective bearing outer ring (18b, 19b) bears are formed from a light metal alloy material or a light metal material that has a transformed material structure such that the housing (12) is of electrically insulating configuration in these sections (24).
