Abstract: A stator for an electric machine of a motor vehicle includes with a laminated core in which at least one cooling channel runs, through which a cooling fluid for cooling the stator can flow, and at least one winding which is held on the laminated core and has a winding head. At least one ring is provided which adjoins a laminated core at least partially in the axial direction of the stator, has at least one guide channel which is connected fluidically to the cooling channel and through which the cooling fluid from the cooling channel can flow as a result, which guide channel has at least one outlet opening which is directed towards the winding head and via which the cooling fluid which flows through the cooling channel can be discharged from the ring and can be sprayed against the winding head.

Abstract: An engine power section for piston engines, particularly V-engines, having a power unit block made of an iron material arranged in a casing of light metal. In order to achieve a stiff weight-reducing power unit block, a flange plate used for limiting the crank space as well as for the connection with the casing is arranged offset relative to a cylinder from its lower end toward its upper end with its front side surface center of gravity at a distance on this side of the bearing center plane of a crankshaft bearing, which corresponds at least to a largest possible distance of the surface center of gravity of a reinforcing profile of a bearing frame on the other side of the bearing center plane. The crankshaft bearings are connected with the flange plate by way of struts.
