Design

Type of shaft

The design of the machine can be considered with or without a shaft. Hence, two solutions are proposed:
  • None: The shaft is not represented and not considered in the rotor design. It is replaced by fluid (like air).
  • With shaft: The shaft is represented and considered in the rotor design.
Note: The shaft can be built only with solid material.

The dimensions are illustrated with arrows. The connection side (C.S.) is identified by yellow lightning.
