Patent ID: 8917002

Claim:
An electric machine for installation to a retaining device, comprising; a stator having an axis; and a torque-support device for supporting the stator against the retaining device to prevent a turning movement around the axis, said torque-support device having an intermediate element with two opposite sides, at least two holding support elements for providing support against the retaining device, and at least two stator support elements for providing support against the stator, wherein the holding support elements and the stator support elements possess each a rigidity in a circumferential direction in relation to the axis that is greater than a rigidity in any other spatial direction, wherein the stator support elements and the holding support elements are respectively arranged in symmetry with one another in relation to the axis, wherein the stator support elements are arranged on a first plane which extends through the axis and are located on one of the opposite sides of the intermediate element and do not penetrate through the latter, and the holding elements are arranged on a second plane which extends through the axis and are located on another opposite side of the intermediate element without penetrating the intermediate element, with the first plane oriented perpendicular to the second plane.
