Axial flux motor which is fixed to a housing and has an adjustment function

An installation method for axially aligning a first assembly comprising a housing and a bearing, a second assembly comprising a first output-side stator half, a third assembly comprising a rotor and a rotor shaft, and a fourth assembly comprising a second stator half, relative to one another, comprising the following steps:

• determining axial actual distances on surfaces of the first assembly, the second assembly, and the third assembly;
• comparing the the actual distances that are determined with specified target distances;
• determining deviations of the actual distances from the respective target distances;
• and
• calculating a thickness therefrom for a separate adjusting element between the surfaces of the first output-side stator half and the housing.

An axial flux machine, comprising:

• a housing;
• a stator located in the housing, the stator having a first stator half and a second stator half;
• a rotor arranged between the first and second stator halves and non-rotatably connected to a rotor shaft which is rotatably mounted relative to the stator and the housing;
• and
• a separate adjusting element, which adjusts an axial spacing between the rotor and at least one of the first or second stator halves, arranged between the at least one of the first or second stator halves and the housing.
