  • Publication number: 20220085682
    Abstract: An arrangement for an electric machine (1) is disclosed, which comprises a housing (12) with a stopper (13) and a stator (4) arranged in the housing (12). The stator (4) comprises a stator lamination stack (6), stator windings (7) and a stator end disc (8a, 8b) arranged on the axial end of the stator lamination stack (6). In the mounted position, the stator lamination stack (6) on the axial end, on which the stator end disc (8a, 8b) is arranged, is in body contact with the stopper (13) of the housing (12). In detail, the stopper (13) has an annular shape thereby providing a radial gap (b) between the stopper (13) and the stator end disc (8a, 8b). Moreover, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing such an arrangement, an electric machine (1) having such an arrangement and a vehicle (16) having such an electric machine (1).
