Electric machine

An electric machine supported by a drive train of a hybrid or fully electrically powered motor vehicle, the electric machine comprising:

• a stator;
• a rotor separated from the stator by an air gap, the rotor has at least a first rotor body with a first group of permanent magnets and a second rotor body with a second group of permanent magnets;
• a mechanical field-attenuation mechanism comprising a lever element with a center of gravity, which is pivoted about a tilting axis, wherein the first rotor body and the second rotor body are rotated relative to one another, counter to an effect of a first torsional stiffness, about a common axis of rotation by the mechanical field-attenuation mechanism, the lever element comprising a first lever section and a second lever section arranged on opposite sides of the lever;
• wherein the first rotor body is coupled to the first lever section and the second rotor body is coupled to the second lever section such that the first rotor body and the second rotor body are rotated relative to one another in a targeted manner by tilting the lever element for a desired movement of the mechanical field-attenuation mechanism, wherein the center of gravity and the tilting axis of the lever element are spaced apart from one another when the electric machine is at a standstill.
