Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hollow shaft includes a cylindrical main body part and an extremity drawn part that is integrally connected to one end of the main body part on the same axis and whose diameter is made smaller than a diameter of the main body part by drawing processing, wherein an inner peripheral face of the main body part and an inner peripheral face of a base portion, which is continuous with one end side of the main body part, of the extremity drawn part are formed as cut faces that are subjected to cutting processing before the drawing processing, and an inner peripheral face of a tip portion, which is continuous with an extremity side of the base portion, of the extremity drawn part is a non-cut face. Accordingly, the hollow shaft can be molded with high shape precision while maintaining a low drawing ratio for an extremity drawn part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hollow shaft comprising a cylindrical main body part and an extremity drawn part that is integrally connected to one end of the main body part on the same axis and whose diameter is made smaller than a diameter of the main body part by drawing processing, wherein an inner peripheral face of the main body part and an inner peripheral face of a base portion, which is continuous with said one end of the main body part, of the extremity drawn part are formed as machining faces, an inner peripheral face of a tip portion, which is continuous with an extremity side of the base portion, of the extremity drawn part is formed as a non-machining face, a border between the machining faces and the non-machining face is positioned on a tapered face of the extremity drawn part, and a thickness of the hollow shaft in a range from the border to the tip portion is greater than a thickness of the hollow shaft in a range from the border to the base portion.
