An electric machine comprises a rotor with a rotor body, wherein the rotor body has a plurality of poles each carrying at least one rotor winding formed from a plurality of conductor loops, wherein the poles extend in a radial direction of the rotor and the conductor loops running through grooves respectively formed between two adjacent poles, wherein a support element extending in the radial direction is respectively arranged in the grooves between the rotor windings of the adjacent poles, which support element, at a radially outer end of the groove, bears up against a thrust-bearing element arranged in a radially positionally-fixed manner between the adjacent poles, wherein the support element presses the conductor loops against the rotor body during a rotation and/or a temperature increase of the rotor.
