1. A motor, comprising: a rotor that can be driven about an axial direction wherein the rotor comprises an encapsulation; and
a stator, which has a winding arrangement that can be supplied with a current; wherein the stator is radially compressible and expandable, and wherein the winding arrangement has at least one sub-winding, which is reversibly deformable, wherein the rotor and the stator are configured to be displaced relative to one another in the axial direction between a first position, in which the stator is radially compressible, and a second position, in which the stator is radially expanded.
