STRUCTURE OF A ROTOR SHAFT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

In an apparatus accommodating a rotor of light alloy and a rotor shaft of steel secured to each other, the rotor shaft consists of a first shaft and a pair of second shafts integrally formed with or rigidly secured to the first shaft. The first shaft has a structure with a thermal coefficient of expansion close to that of the rotor whereas each of the second shafts has a structure with a thermal coefficient of expansion less than that of the first shaft.
