Chaque pièce ferromagnétique 130, 230 de forme annulaire comporte une première portion annulaire s'étalant sur une première plage angulaire et une deuxième portion annulaire s'étalant sur une deuxième plage angulaire. Les deux portions annulaires sont distinctes et par exemple positionnées symétriquement par rapport à un plan de symétrie transversal de la pièce ferromagnétique. Préférentiellement, chaque portion annulaire occupe une plage angulaire inférieure à 180° et par exemple environ égale à 120°.Each

Chaque aimant permanent est réalisé sous la forme d'une portion d'anneau destinée à recouvrir une portion annulaire de la pièce ferromagnétique sur laquelle il est fixé. Il est agencé de manière à présenter une première face polaire contre la pièce ferromagnétique et une deuxième face polaire orientée vers la face avant 11, 21 de la fiche ou du socle. L'orientation des faces polaires de l'aimant permanent détermine le sens du flux magnétique ϕ généré dans le circuit magnétique.Each permanent magnet is produced in the form of a ring portion intended to cover an annular portion of the ferromagnetic part to which it is fixed. It is arranged so as to have a first pole face against the ferromagnetic part and a second pole face oriented towards the
