A vehicle alternator comprising a rotor (2) having interleaved polar horns (18), at least one of the horns having, facing another one of the horns, a side face (20) having a profiled groove (22), wherein the groove has a longitudinal blind end (30) in the form of a sector of a cylinder which is in a longitudinal direction of the groove.
A method of making a vehicle alternator, comprising a rotor (2) which includes interleaved polar horns (18), wherein a profiled groove (22) is formed on at least one side face (20) of one of the horns which is adapted to be in facing relationship with another one of the horns, wherein the groove (22) is formed with a longitudinal end (30) which is blind in a longitudinal direction of the groove.
A vehicle alternator comprising:
- a rotor having a plurality of interleaved polar horns extending between opposite ends thereof, at least one pair of adjacent interleaved polar horns each having a side face with a profiled groove facing each other, each of said profiled grooves terminating at a blind end located between and spaced apart from said ends of said polar horns.
