  • Patent number: 12476513
    Abstract: An electric machine, in particular for use within the powertrain of a hybrid or fully electric motor vehicle, having 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 for supporting the rotor relative to the engine housing, wherein the A-bearing shield and/or the B-bearing shield has/have a two-part design, in each case having a respective intermediate inner shield which is arranged axially between the stator and a cover shield that can be fixed to the engine housing, and the intermediate shield receives a bearing for the rotor. The cover shield can be releasably fixed to the intermediate shield side facing away from the stator, and the cover shield has centering means for radially centering the intermediate shield.
