Rotorwelle
RotorWelle is a term used in mechanical and electrical engineering to denote a rotor–shaft assembly designed to optimize the transmission of rotational energy in high-speed machines. While not tied to a single product, the concept describes approaches that integrate rotor and shaft functions to reduce mechanical losses, improve stiffness, and simplify alignment.
Design considerations for RotorWelle include material selection for torsional stiffness and fatigue resistance, precision machining to
In operation, a RotorWelle assembly is balanced to minimize vibration, runout is controlled, and seals and lubrication
Historical development of rotor–shaft integration has roots in heritage rotor dynamics and precision machineries in motors,
Applications span electric machines (motors and generators), turbomachinery, aviation turbochargers, and marine propulsion systems where high
