MOTOR SHAFT
A motor shaft onto the outer periphery of which a plurality of members are to be press-fitted includes a plurality of step portions which successively expand the outer diameter of the motor shaft from one end side, and a plurality of press-fit portions which are arranged adjacent to one end sides of the respective step portions and onto which the members are to be press-fitted.
1 . A motor shaft onto the outer periphery of which a plurality of members are to be press-fitted, comprising:
a plurality of step portions which successively expand the outer diameter of the motor shaft from one end side; and
a plurality of press-fit portions which are arranged adjacent to one end sides of the respective step portions and onto which the members are to be press-fitted.
2 . The motor shaft according to claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of members are a rotor of a motor and a first and second bearing respectively arranged at both sides of the rotor in an axial direction;
the plurality of step portions include a first step portion, a second step portion and a third step portion successively from the one end side of the motor shaft;
the plurality of press-fit portions include a first press-fit portion adjacent to the one end side of the first step portion, a second press-fit portion adjacent to the one end side of the second step portion and a third press-fit portion adjacent to the one end side of the third step portion; and
the first bearing is to be press-fitted onto the third press-fit portion, the rotor is to be press-fitted onto the second press-fit portion and the second bearing is to be press-fitted onto the first press-fit portion.
3 . The motor shaft according to claim 2 , wherein:
an interference avoidance gap is provided between one end side of the third press-fit portion and the second step portion and the one end side of the third press-fit portion and the second step portion are arranged at a distance from each other in an axial direction of the motor shaft.
