Pole assembly for a pole of an electrical machine, wherein the pole assembly consists of a number of pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c), of which at least the number reduced by 1 is associated with one of precisely two subgroups (U 1, U 2), and wherein the pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c) each comprise a multiple number of identical iron laminates which are arranged, in particular, in a congruent manner, wherein a first subgroup (U 1) consists of a first multiple number of layered pole components (1, 3, 5), and a second subgroup (U 2) consists of a second multiple number of layered pole components (6, 4, 2), wherein the pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c) each have an end face (S 1-6), wherein - all end face borders (SG 1,3,5), which are of corresponding orientation to one another, of the pole components (1, 3, 5) of the first subgroup (U 1) are arranged in such a way that, between successive end face borders (SG 1,3,5) of the first subgroup (U 1), there is in each case a minimum offset in a common first direction, - all end face borders (SG 6,4,2), which are of corresponding orientation to one another, of the pole components (6, 4, 2) of the second subgroup (U 2) are arranged in such a way that, between successive end face borders (SG 6,4,2) of the second subgroup (U 2), there is in each case a minimum offset in a common second direction, wherein - the first multiple number of layered pole components (1, 3, 5) is at least 2 and the second multiple number of layered pole components (6, 4, 2) is at least 3, and the first direction is oriented opposite the second direction, characterized in that - the magnitude of the minimum offset is greater at least by a factor of 1.5 than a comparison offset which is calculated as the maximum occurring relative offset between two pole components (1, 6) within the pole assembly (a, b, c) divided by the number, reduced by 1, of all the pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c) in the pole assembly (a, b, c), wherein no further pole components with a relative offset equal to 0 exist within the pole assembly (a, b, c) for more than half (X/2) the number of pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c). - all end face borders (SG 1,3,5), which are of corresponding orientation to one another, of the pole components (1, 3, 5) of the first subgroup (U 1) are arranged in such a way that, between successive end face borders (SG 1,3,5) of the first subgroup (U 1), there is in each case a minimum offset in a common first direction, - all end face borders (SG 6,4,2), which are of corresponding orientation to one another, of the pole components (6, 4, 2) of the second subgroup (U 2) are arranged in such a way that, between successive end face borders (SG 6,4,2) of the second subgroup (U 2), there is in each case a minimum offset in a common second direction, wherein - the first multiple number of layered pole components (1, 3, 5) is at least 2 and the second multiple number of layered pole components (6, 4, 2) is at least 3, and the first direction is oriented opposite the second direction, characterized in that - the magnitude of the minimum offset is greater at least by a factor of 1.5 than a comparison offset which is calculated as the maximum occurring relative offset between two pole components (1, 6) within the pole assembly (a, b, c) divided by the number, reduced by 1, of all the pole components (1a-6a, 1b-6b, 1c-6c) in the pole assembly (a, b, c),
