The patent application (Publication Number: US20240035512A1) describes a rotor shaft with a unique design for improved performance. The rotor shaft includes a hollow shaft body with external profiling along its length and internal bead-like profiling parallel to the external profiling. Additionally, the shaft has end portions that terminate the shaft body, with journal portions for added functionality. The method for producing this rotor shaft involves forming a hollow shaft body from a metal semi-finished product, creating the external profiling during or after the forming process, and ensuring the thickness of the profilings meets the final thickness requirements of the shaft body.
The innovative aspect of this rotor shaft lies in its design and production method, which aims to enhance the overall performance and durability of the shaft. By incorporating both external and internal profilings, the shaft is structurally reinforced while maintaining the necessary thickness for optimal functionality. The inclusion of end portions with journal portions further adds to the versatility and practicality of the rotor shaft. Overall, this patent application showcases a novel approach to rotor shaft design and manufacturing, with potential benefits for various applications requiring reliable and efficient shaft components.
