The invention relates to a brushless
electric machine (1) having at least one
stator (2), at least one rotor (3), at least one shaft (4) and at least one winding (8), the rotor (3) being fixed to the shaft (4), the rotor (3) having at least one permanent
magnet (5) having a plurality of magnetic rotor poles (5a), the
stator (2) having a plurality of
stator teeth (6), wherein each stator tooth (6) is at least partially wound by at least one
stator coil (7), and wherein the stator coils (7) form a winding (8) having at least three phases (P1, P2, P3). An
electric machine, in particular for driving a component supply
station of an automatic
assembly machine, which generates a sufficiently high
cogging torque amplitude and at the same time provides a
high torque with a high number of cogging fluctuations, is achieved in that at least one stator tooth (6, 6a) of at least one first phase (P1) of a winding (8) is designed as an elongated stator tooth (6, 6a), the elongated stator teeth (6, 6a) have a longitudinal extension in the radial direction which is greater than the longitudinal extension of at least one stator tooth (6, 6b) of the remaining stator teeth (6, 6b) of the first phase (P1) and / or which is greater than the longitudinal extension of at least one stator tooth (6) of at least one of the remaining phases (P2, P3).
