  • Publication number: 20240030775
    Abstract: An electric machine for use within the powertrain of a hybrid or fully electric motor vehicle includes a stator and a rotor, said stator and rotor being received in an engine housing. The engine housing has at least one A-bearing shield and at least one B-bearing shield (6) for supporting the rotor relative to the engine housing, wherein the A-bearing shield and/or the B-bearing shield has/have a multipart design, in particular a two-part design, in each case comprising a respective annular inner shield and an annular outer shield, and the inner shield is arranged radially within the outer shield such that an annular space is formed between the inner shield and the outer shield. A connection shield is at least partly arranged in the annular space so that the inner shield and the outer shield are secured in the radial direction by the connection shield.

  • Publication number: 20230336046
    Abstract: A coil component for an electric machine, having a carrier and a coil winding accommodated in the carrier at least in sections. The carrier has a ring region with multiple grooves distributed in a circumferential direction, and multiple winding sections of the coil winding are received in each groove. An insulation layer is arranged between the carrier and the winding sections in at least one groove and projects with two extension portions over the winding sections towards a radial opening of the at least one groove. A closure element is received in the carrier in the groove with the insulation layer towards the radial opening, and both extension portions are arranged such that the closure element is spaced apart from the carrier by the extension portions. An electric machine is provided with the coil component.
