An arrangement to ensure an air gap in an electrical machine is provided. The electrical machine has a stator arrangement and a rotor arrangement, wherein an air gap is defined by a distance between parts of the rotor arrangement and parts of the stator arrangement. A cross section of the air gap changes along the certain length. The stator arrangement includes a stator support structure and a lamination stack, wherein the stator support structure has support elements for a two-sided support of the lamination stack, the support elements being ring-shaped and connected via a single main bearing to the rotor arrangement. Elements of the ring-shaped support element show different diameters in reference to the longitudinal axis. A first diameter of a first element of the ring-shaped support element is greater than a second diameter of a second element of the ring-shaped support-element.
