Abstract

A housing for an electric machine may include an outer housing (2), an inner housing (3) arranged in the outer housing (2) and an intermediate casing space (5) formed between the outer housing (2) and the inner housing (3) as seen in a radial direction with respect to a stator axis (4). The outer housing and the inner housing (2, 3) may be pot-shaped and in each case have a base (9, 10) such that a base intermediate space (11) is formed between the base (9) of the outer housing (2) and the base (10) of the inner housing (3). The housing may further include a plurality of cooling ribs (8) running in an axial direction in the intermediate casing space (5) such that the cooling ribs extend into the base intermediate space (11) and run in a radial direction in the base intermediate space (11).
