The present invention relates to an electrical machine 1, in particular an
electric motor, with a housing 2 and covers 3, 4 that close the housing 2
and contain bearings 7, 8 that rotatably support a rotor 5. According to
the present invention, spring elements 7.3, 8.3 are provided that act
upon at least one bearing shell 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2 each of bearings 7, 8
with a compression force acting in the axial direction, whereby the
mounting of the bearing shell 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2 that is acted upon by
one of the spring elements 7.3, 8.3 is configured as a sliding fit.
