A liquid-cooled rotor for an electromechanical energy converter has a rotor shaft designed, at least in portions, as a hollow shaft and having a first, open axial end, a liquid-guiding device extending through the first end into the rotor shaft, wherein an annular liquid space is between the liquid-guiding device and the rotor shaft in the radial direction, and the liquid-guiding device has an interior space for guiding liquid and a liquid inlet opening into the interior space and arranged at a first axial end of the liquid-guiding device, the liquid-guiding device, at a second axial end, is received in the rotor shaft and guiding relative to the rotor shaft, and has a liquid outlet opening fluidically connecting the interior space to the annular liquid space, and the liquid outlet opening is between the first and second ends of the liquid-guiding device in the axial direction.

A shaft bearing point has a radial shaft bearing in which a drive shaft is rotatably supported relative to a machine housing. The radial shaft bearing is arranged directly or indirectly in a machine housing wall separating a lubricant space from a lubricant-free space. The radial shaft bearing has a lubricant side facing the lubricant space, and a seal side facing away from the lubricant space, in the axial direction, and a radial shaft seal is provided which is arranged at an axial distance to the seal side such that a lubricant chamber is produced between the seal side and the radial shaft seal ring in the axial direction. The lubricant chamber is equipped with a chamber separating wall. The chamber separating wall separates the lubricant chamber into a storage chamber, which is arranged between the seal side and the chamber separating wall, and a seal chamber, which is arranged between the chamber separating wall and the radial shaft seal ring. The storage chamber and the seal chamber are fluidically connected together via a separating wall throttle. The separating wall throttle has an annular gap as a fluid-conducting connection between the two chambers. The annular gap is formed between the chamber separating wall and the drive shaft and has a permeable height, which is greater than 0.1 mm and less than 3 mm, in the radial direction.

A cooling device for a stator of an electrical machine, for fitting together with a hollow cylindrical laminated core of the stator, includes multiple cooling channels for conducting cooling fluid along the laminated core, and a fluid ring for provision on an end face of the laminated core. The fluid ring has two fluid ring channels for distributing the cooling fluid to the cooling channels and for receiving the cooling fluid from the cooling channels, and at least two cooling fluid connections for introducing and removing the cooling fluid into and from the fluid ring channels. The fluid ring channels have circumferential-angle-dependent flow cross-sections in the flow direction, in order to evenly distribute the cooling fluid to the cooling channels.
