Abstract
An electric machine includes a housing, a stator, a rotor arranged radially within the stator, and a plastic body fixing the stator relative to the housing. The plastic body is electrically insulating. Further, the plastic body radially surrounds an outside of at least one soft magnetic core of the stator and first and second winding overhangs of the stator, and axially surrounds an end face of the first winding overhangs and an end face of the second winding overhangs. Additionally, the plastic body defines at least one channel for accommodating a coolant, the at least one channel having a first portion extending circumferentially along at least 40% of the end face of the first winding overhangs, a second portion extending along an outer circumferential surface of the stator, and a third portion extending circumferentially along at least 40% of the end face of the second winding overhangs.
