Abstract

The machine contains a rotor with a hot rotor housing in which a cold part with a superconductive rotor winding is located. A part which acts as a baffle screen is provided on the outside of the rotor housing, facing a stator. Supporting elements are intended to be provided at predetermined points between the hot housing and the cold part, extending in the radial direction to such an extent that, during normal operation of the machine, a short separation is in each case formed between the supporting elements and the hot housing or the cold part, and such that a force fit is produced between the hot housing and the cold part via the supporting elements only in the event of a defect which leads to deformation of the hot housing of the machine.
