Abstract

A stator of an electric machine of axial flux design, with and a stator core, which forms a structural unit and includes a first region oriented towards a first axial outer side, and a second region oriented towards a second axial outer side. In the first region, stator teeth and winding grooves are formed on the first outer side alternately in the peripheral direction. In the second region, stator teeth) and winding grooves are formed on the second outer side alternately in the peripheral direction. The stator teeth of the first and second regions are oriented offset to each other. The winding grooves of the first and second regions are radially distanced from one another in the peripheral direction such that there is no overlap of the winding grooves of the first and second regions in the axial direction in the outer surface that runs around radially.
