A sensor fastening device for temperature measurement in an electrical machine for driving a motor vehicle having a retaining body for receiving a temperature sensor, a support body for resting against a stator lamination of the electrical machine, the support body being connected to the retaining body spreadably, and a spreading element for spreading the retaining body away from the support body. By means of the sensor fastening device, which can be shifted in the radial direction and can be moved past the winding axially, the temperature sensor can be positioned, from the radial outside, on the radially inner edge of the winding and can be thermally coupled by means of the spreading element such that maintenance-friendly and accurate measurement of a maximum temperature in a winding of an electrical machine for a motor vehicle is made possible.
