Abstract: For motors having a journal with one or more groove regions and a shaft for relative rotation in the journal, aspects include providing a dual tapered shaft. The shaft may be tapered by the application of a wear resistant coating at least opposite the groove regions. The coating introduces a shaft taper from near a top end and from near a bottom end towards the shaft middle. The shaft taper may provide for improved pumping efficiency. The coating may be applied in various processes such as chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition to establish a thickness gradient of coating material from near the top end and near the bottom end towards the shaft middle. In one example, the coating includes a DLC coating. Additionally, shaft portions may be shielded to prevent coatings thereon.

Abstract: An integral hollow type power transmission shaft is proposed which is superior in the balance between the static strength and the fatigue strength. The integral hollow type shaft is induction-hardened from the outer periphery to form a hardened layer, leaving unhardened layer at spline portions, so that at the spline portions, the hardness on the inner surface will be lower than at other portions. This increases the toughness and compressive residual stress of the shaft at the spline portions, which tend to be starting points of fatigue cracks, thus improving the balance between the static strength and the fatigue strength.

The first attachable part (2) with its first longitudinal axis (A1) and the second attachable part (3) with its second longitudinal axis (A2) are aligned on the reference axis (R). Thereafter, the attachable parts (2, 3) are welded to the tube ends of the tube element (4), with the radial gaps between the tube element (4) and the attachable parts (2, 3) being closed.
