Abstract
A vehicle transmission system comprises a shaft and an electrical eddy current retarder itself comprising an annular inductor stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the shaft via independent fixing arms extending inwards to the free ends of axial metal tongues secured to the shaft and elastically deformable in a radial direction under the effect of the rotor being subjected to thermal expansion.
