Electric machine, in particular electric generator for a wind power plant, having - a hollow-cylindrical stator; - at least two receptacle elements; wherein the respective receptacle element encloses in each case the stator at least partially in the circumferential direction along a respective inner covering length, and wherein the respective receptacle element is co-rotationally connected to the stator in the circumferential direction along a respective inner fastening length, the latter being subdivided into a plurality of inner fastening portions; and - a stator housing; wherein the stator housing encloses the respective receptacle element at least partially in the circumferential direction along a respective outer covering length, and wherein the stator housing is co-rotationally connected to the respective receptacle element in the circumferential direction along a respective outer fastening length, the latter being subdivided into a plurality of outer fastening portions; and wherein - the respective inner fastening length extends at most along half the respective inner covering length; and/or - the respective outer fastening length extends at most along two thirds of the respective outer covering length, characterized in that the respective inner fastening length extends at most along 120°, and at least along 50°, in particular along 50° to 80°, in the circumferential direction, and the respective outer fastening length extends at most along 200°, and at least along 60°, in particular along 80° to 120°, in the circumferential direction, and in that the inner fastening portions, for reducing the transmission of noise to the stator housing, are disposed so as to be offset from the outer fastening portions in the circumferential direction, thus not overlapping the outer fastening portions, or in that - if the inner and the outer fastening portions (8, 9) are not disposed so as to be offset in the circumferential direction but so as to overlap - for reducing the transmission of noise to the stator housing in the operating state of the machine, thus when the central axis runs horizontally, the inner and the outer fastening portions (8, 9) are disposed only in the lower right and in the lower left quadrant in the region of the support devices by means of which the torque arising during the operation of the electric machine is able to be discharged to a foundation or to a support surface, or - if an outer fastening length is additionally provided so as to be central at the top - the inner and the outer fastening portions (8, 9) are also disposed so as to be central at the top in the region of the vertical central axis. - a hollow-cylindrical stator;
