At least one tooth shank (14) has an increasing or decreasing width in or counter to the radial direction (5) of the winding support (1).

A rotor connection support comprising a main connection ring configured to reduce the moment load on fastener locations (such as threaded fastener locations) by integrating stand-off posts into a high strength plate are discussed herein. These stand-offs may be configured to reduce the stresses on the high stress concentration/low cross section threads. Also, included is an improved wire routing and wire support configured to maximize the fatigue cycles of the main field lead wires.

An electric machine includes a stator and a rotor, with the stator being equipped with at least one annular exciter unit that includes a coil and at least two annular yokes, with the rotor being equipped with a structure and at least one annular receiver unit. Each receiver unit includes at least two rows of magnets. Two sides of each yoke include teeth distributed angularly in a regular manner, and the teeth of the two adjacent yokes fit onto a face of the exciter unit, alternately forming north poles and south poles. Each row of the magnets is positioned opposite one face, forming an air gap with the exciter unit, with the electric machine thus including at least two air gaps, with a 3D magnetic flux thus circulating inside the said electric machine, dividing and regrouping itself in the vicinity of the magnets and of the yokes.
