Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor rotor and a method for manufacturing a motor rotor, enabling crimping of the resolver rotor at low cost with less influence on the detection accuracy. A motor rotor includes a resolver rotor and a rotor shaft to which the resolver rotor is affixed by crimping. The rotor shaft includes a first stepped section with which a crimping punch makes contact to deform the first stepped section, a second stepped section with which an end surface of the resolver rotor makes contact, and a cutout groove formed in a surface which is located near the first stepped section and with which an inner peripheral hole section of the resolver rotor makes contact. In the crimping operation, the first stepped section of the rotor shaft is bent within the cutout groove to form a crimping protrusion which presses the end surface of the resolver rotor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A motor rotor includes a resolver rotor for detecting a rotation position, and a shaft crimped to the resolver rotor, wherein the shaft includes a first stepped portion to be deformed by a punch abutting thereon during crimping, a second stepped portion to which an end face of the resolver rotor is abutted, and a recess formed close to the first stepped portion and in a surface contacted by a circumferential inner hole of the resolver rotor, wherein,…
