Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical machine having a rotor (1), a stator (2) radially surrounding the rotor, and a housing (4) radially surrounding the stator. In order to minimize stresses in the housing and nonetheless decrease the tendency of the stator to torsional vibrations, the stator is connected to the housing at least at one end in a radially and torsionally rigid but axially movable manner, for example, by way of an axially compliant material area. The electrical machine can, in particular, be a motor spindle in a gear finishing machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for machining workpieces with precut teeth; having a workpiece support and at least one workpiece spindle arranged on the workpiece support for clamping a workpiece (8). A centering device (20.1) for the workpieces comprises a probe holder (30) with a centering probe (26), which operates in a contactless manner, and a base element (37). The probe holder is connected to the base element such that the probe holder has a variable radial distance to the workpiece spindle axis. The base element is designed as a slide which can be moved relative to the workpiece support. A linear guide for the base element allows a movement of the base element relative to the workpiece support. An adjustment drive for the centering device can be arranged above the centering device on a backrest of the workpiece support.
