An automotive AC generator is provided which includes a rotary shaft and a generator connector jointed to the rotary shaft. The generator connector is designed to establish a mechanical connection between the rotary shaft and a motor connector joined to a drive shaft of the motor for transmitting the drive torque to the rotary shaft. The generator connector is placed to establish eccentricity between an axis thereof and an axis of the motor connector at all times during rotation of the rotary shaft, thereby resulting in a radial load acting on bearings of the rotary shaft in one direction so as to keep a total load on the bearings greater than zero (0) at all the time. This avoids the seizing of the bearings and creeping of a bearing holder.
