A twisting method ( 100 ) is described, for twisting free end portions ( 2 A, 3 A, 2 A′, 3 A′) of bar conductors ( 1, 1′ ) for the stator or rotor bar winding of an electrical machine, comprising: a step of providing ( 101 ) a twisting fixture ( 10 ) comprising at least a pocket member ( 11 ) extending about a twisting axis (Z-Z) and provided with a circular array (S 1 ) of pockets having its center on the twisting axis (Z-Z), the pocket member ( 11 ) including a main structure ( 11 A) provided with an arc (R 1 ) of adjacent pockets of said array (S 1 ) and a secondary structure ( 11 B) which is movably mounted with respect to main structure ( 11 A) and which is provided with a further pocket ( 11 B′) of said array (S 1 ), each of the pockets of said array (S 1 ) comprising a respective insertion opening ( 11 A″, 11 B″), which is adapted to be passed through by one of said free end portions ( 2 A, 2 A′) for inserting such free end portion into said pocket; a step of providing ( 102 ) a stator core ( 20 ) or rotor core ( 20 ) provided with a plurality of slots ( 24 ) which are populated by a respective plurality of said bar conductors ( 1, 1′ ) which are arranged with said free end portions ( 2 A, 2 A′) protruding from a side of stator core ( 20 ) or rotor core ( 20 ), said protruding end portions forming a circular array (T 1 ) of end portions ( 2 A, 2 A′); a step of inserting ( 103 ) into the arc (R 1 ) of pockets of the main structure ( 11 A) an arc of adjacent end portions ( 2 A, 2 A′) of said array of end portions (T 1 ); a first step of twisting ( 104 ) the arc of end portions, which is inserted into said arc (R 1 ) of pockets, by relative rotational-translational motion between said core ( 20 ) and said pocket member ( 11 ); the method being characterized in that it further comprises: a step of axially translating ( 105 ) the secondary structure ( 11 B) with respect to the main structure ( 11 A), for inserting, into said further pocket ( 11 B′) of the ...
