Abstract
The invention relates to an electric machine (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a stator (10) and a rotor (20) mounted on said stator (10) in a movable rotational manner by a rotational axis (20A) and a plurality of bearing modules (40). A fixed element of at least one bearing module (40) comprises a piezoelectric transceiver, referred to as the "main" transceiver (120), configured to emit an ultrasonic power supply signal. The electric machine (1) comprises a sensor (30) mounted inside the rotor (20). Figure 1
