The disclosure relates to a method for producing a winding of a winding carrier of an electric machine. The method includes providing a laminated core. The laminated core has an axis and a first slot for accommodating a first winding segment for producing the winding. The first slot extends in the direction of the axis. The first slot is arranged on a first circle as viewed in the direction of the axis, through the circle center point of which first circle the axis extends. The method includes: arranging the first winding segment in the first slot, where a first region of the first slot protrudes from the laminated core; and bending the first region by applying a first force acting in the direction of the axis and by applying a first force acting tangentially to the first circle onto the first region in a first direction tangentially to the first circle.
