Stator sealing member

An electric machine for use with an aircraft engine comprising:

• a housing including at least one structural member,
• a rotor configured to rotate relative to the housing about a longitudinal axis,
• a stator core comprising a stator bore, and being arranged in the housing and supported by the at least one structural member,
• at least one end winding extending from the stator core,
• a cooling path configured to circulate coolant around and/or through at least a portion of the stator core, the cooling path being in fluid communication with the at least one end winding, and
• an annular sealing member arranged at a first longitudinal end face of the stator core, the annular sealing member including an axially-facing surface interfacing with and forming a seal against at least a portion of the first longitudinal end face of the stator core and comprising a radially-facing surface which extends axially away from the first end face to form a seal with the at least one structural member, so as to direct coolant away from an air gap between the stator core and the rotor;
• wherein the annular sealing member comprises a drain passage configured to allow coolant in the stator bore to flow radially outwards past the annular sealing member.
