Electric machine

The invention relates to an electric machine which is used, in particular, as an electric motor for devices used to displace elements of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing part (25) and at least one stator body (1) which is arranged in said housing part (25). Said stator body (1) comprises on an outer side (15) or the housing part (25) on an inner side (28), at least one recess (18, 35, 36). The inner side (28) of the housing part (25) faces towards the outer side (15) of the stator body (1). Said stator body (1) is joined to the housing part (25) by means of an adhesive (26), said adhesive (26) extending from the recess (18, 35, 36) into an assembly gap (29) formed between the outer side (15) of the stator body (1) and the inner side (28) of the housing part (25). As a result, a highly stable connection between the stator body (1) and the housing part (25) is established. Shavings can also be prevented from being formed during connection.
