Abstract: A permanent magnet excited synchronous machine (1) with embedded magnets, which is particularly suitable for range extender generator. It includes stator (2) and rotor (3) being provided with exciter magnets (7). The rotor (3) has at least two rotor poles (4), each is provided with one exciter magnet (7). In order to increase the magnetic torque limit of the synchronous machine (1)—in each rotor pole (4) at least one, preferably several selective magnetic flux barriers, preferably as substantially radial slots (8) being parallel with the main pole flux is/are provided in the area of the pole shoe.

Abstract: Laminated rotor (21) assemblies for rotating electric machines such as hybrid synchronous motors (HSM) of vehicle drives, the rotor plates (26) of which have one or several recesses (29) as a flux barrier or magnet pocket, which comprise radially innermost and outermost edge sections as rounded transition regions from and to edge sections lying therebetween. Each of the rounded transition regions may be shaped at least approximately respectively according to a part of a curve (35) of second order. Between adjacent recesses (29), a respective oblique cross-piece (52) is provided, the center line (54) of which lies obliquely to the pole axis (30).
