Abstract

The invention relates to a machine with an uncooled rotor, which is mounted such that it is capable of rotating about an axis of rotation and which has cutouts or flattened portions on its outside. At least one rotor winding, which is accommodated in a cryostat with a cryostat wall and is to be cooled to low temperature, should be arranged in the cross-sectional area region of these flattened portions. A holding and/or support device is used for transmitting forces acting on the rotor winding beyond the cryostat wall to the rotor body. In order to reduce losses in the cooling system which occur as a result of thermal conduction, the holding and/or support device should contain at least one support element, which is equipped with means for reducing the thermal conductivity.
