  • Publication number: 20230291251
    Abstract: A rotor of an electric machine comprising a drive shaft, a plurality of foils provided with an insertion seat at which they are coaxially keyed to the drive shaft at a keying portion. The foils have the shape of a circular sector extending from an outer edge, corresponding to an outer diameter of the rotor, and an inner edge, corresponding to a minimum or inner diameter delimiting the insertion seat which interfaces with the keying portion of the drive shaft. The keying portion includes a lateral surface which interfaces with the insertion seat of the foils. The foils include cavities passing through an axial thickness of the foil, which impart elasticity in a radial direction, perpendicular to the rotation axis, to blocking portions of the foils. The blocking portions include a central block, having a central radial thickness, and two lateral blocks, having an intermediate radial thickness and an end radial thickness which are lower than the central radial thickness of the central block.

  • Publication number: 20220393533
    Abstract: A rotor of an electric machine comprising a drive shaft extending along a rotation axis, a plurality of foils provided with an insertion seat at which they are coaxially keyed to the drive shaft at a keying portion of the drive shaft, the foils globally having the shape of a circular sector extending from an outer edge, corresponding to an outer diameter of the rotor, and an inner edge, corresponding to a minimum or inner diameter delimiting said insertion seat which interfaces with the keying portion of the drive shaft. The keying portion comprises a lateral surface which interfaces with the insertion seat of the foils, wherein the insertion seat comprises locking portions, which interface with said lateral surface of the keying portion. At said locking portions, the foils comprise, on the side opposite to the keying portion, lightenings which give elasticity to the locking portions in a radial direction, perpendicular to the rotation axis.
