Abstract: A synchronous machine (100) includes a housing, a shaft (106) to mount a three-phase rectifier (124), main motor (116) and a rotating transformer (RT) (108). The main rotor (110) is concentrically and co-axially mounted on shaft (106), and main stator (112) is concentrically and co-axially assembled over main rotor (110). Main rotor (110) includes Direct Current field windings and main stator (112) includes Alternating Current poly-phased distributed windings. Further, the RT (108) includes an RT rotor (120) and RT stator (122). RT rotor (120) and RT stator (122) may include AC poly-phase distributed windings and second predefined number of poles. Further, RT rotor (120) may be configured to be rotatably coupled on first end (106A) of shaft (106). The RT stator (122) may be configured to concentrically and co-axially assembled over RT rotor (120).

Abstract: A torsion profile for a twist beam axle of a vehicle is provided and includes a base body having an open hollow cross section. The body comprises first and second end portions adjacent a central portion and a cross section having first and second limbs connected by a central web portion, the cross section having a U-shape or a V-shape. At least one of the limbs varies in length along the longitudinal axis of at least one of the first and second end portions. At least one of the limbs has a flange arranged on a free end thereof, the variation in length of the at least one limb providing the first and second end portions with a continuously varying cross section along the length of the base body.
