Axial flux machine having a lightweight design

The invention relates to an electric axial flux machine having a rotor shaft (1) that can be rotated about an axis of rotation (2). Two rotors (3) are arranged on the rotor shaft (1). Said rotors are spaced from each other in the direction of the axis of rotation (2). A stator (4) is arranged between the two rotors (3) in the direction of the axis of rotation (2). The stator (4) has a number of stator teeth (5), which each extend between two end regions (6) in the direction of the axis of rotation (2). The stator teeth (5) are arranged at a radial distance (r) from the axis of rotation (2) in an even distribution around the axis of rotation (2) and bear a stator winding system (7). The stator teeth (5) are connected to each other in each of the end regions (6) by means of a respective ring structure (10) and are connected to a housing (11) that surrounds the stator (4) radially on the outside.
