Electric machine

A section of an electromagnetic coupling element for supporting a stator or rotor of an electric machine, comprises a plurality of elongated laminations stacked in a first direction to form a lamination stack, the elongated edges of the laminations define opposite first major faces and second major faces of the lamination stack. The section includes a plurality of elongate compression devices thatpass internally through the lamination stack in a first direction and are arranged to compress the laminations in the lamination stack together. 种用于支承电机的定子或转子的电磁耦合元件的区段，包括：多个细长叠片，所述多个细长叠片在第方向上堆叠以形成叠片堆，叠片的细长边缘限定叠片堆的相对的第主面和第二主面。该区段包括多个细长压缩装置，所述多个细长压缩装置在第方向上在内部穿过叠片堆并且被布置成将叠片堆中的叠片压缩在起。
