Electric machine having an electric sliding contact

An electric machine (10) having a stator housing (22), which accommodates a stator (12) and a rotor (14), wherein the rotor (14) comprises a rotor shaft (16), and the stator housing (22) comprises an axial opening (24), through which the rotor shaft (16) projects out of the stator housing (22), wherein an electrically conductive shielding plate (29) is arranged transversely to the rotor shaft (16) and substantially covers an opening (24), and an electrically conductive sliding contact (77) coupled to the rotor shaft (16) and is electrically conductively connected to the shielding plate (29), wherein on a periphery of the opening (24), a flange (28) is formed, which radially overlaps the shielding plate (29), and the shielding plate (29) conductively abuts, on its outer perimeter (31), axially on the flange (28) of the stator housing (22) in order to form a ground contact, wherein axially opposite the stator housing (22), a transmission housing (60) is arranged with a mating flange (61), which axially clamps the shielding plate (29) to the stator housing (22).
