The housing has a bell-shaped end portion with an axial aperture in which the output pinion of the starter motor unit is supported for rotation and a side aperture through which the pinion can mate with a rotary member of the internal combustion engine. The side wall of the bell-shaped portion opposite the side aperture has a recess with a flat wall portion extending in a plane substantially parallel to the axis of the bell-shaped portion.

The rotor comprises a shaft from which two facing pole plates extend radially, each having a plurality of radial pole fingers whose ends are bent towards the other pole plate and each of which extends between two adjacent fingers of the other pole plate. An excitation winding is situated between the plates coaxial with the shaft. At least one axial ventilation duct is formed in the shaft from which branch radial ducts in correspondence with the pole plates, the ducts communicating with the corresponding ventilation passages provided in each pole plate, which open into recesses defined between pairs of adjacent pole fingers.
