Transverse flux machine

A transverse flux machine comprising:

• a stator having a stator winding arranged in a winding space and a plurality of stator poles, each stator pole of the plurality of stator poles comprising a body element having a ferromagnetic material, wherein the body element has at least one pole head and a magnetic return path region;
• a first rotor;
• and
• a second rotor,
• wherein the first rotor and the second rotor are arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the stator,
• wherein the stator is arranged between the first rotor and the second rotor,
• wherein the winding space is formed in a direction in relation to an axis of rotation of the first rotor and the second rotor,
• wherein each stator pole of the plurality of stator poles is arranged in such a way that pole heads of the respective stator pole are opposite one of the first rotor or the second rotor in an installation position,
• wherein each stator pole of the plurality of stator poles is configured to occupy only a portion of a circumference of the stator when in the installation position, and
• wherein magnetic return path regions of the plurality of stator poles have curved shapes which adjoin the pole heads, as a result of which the magnetic return path regions define the winding space.
