Disclosed is a centrifugal-blower impeller made from a back plate and a front plate and blades attached between these plates. The back plate or the front plate of the impeller or both of them are prestressed in a direction opposite to the stresses produced by centrifugal force when the impeller rotates. According to a preferred embodiment of the impeller the back plate is prestressed by means of a stressing member having the shape of a truncated cone, which is supported by the inner end of the hub of the driving shaft of the blower. In addition a stressing flange is attached to said hub and is tightened to the back plate by means of bolts. The front plate may be prestressed by means of a stressing ring mounted on the suction ring of the front plate.
