Abstract
Abstract An assembled shaft, including a hollow shaft, elements with through-bores attached to the shaft by expansion of the shaft in individual associated longitudinal portions, and supporting sleeves provided inside individual of the elements so as to rest against the hollow shaft and be plastically expanded in situ, by the expansion of the shaft, at least the individual elements of both the elements and the hollow shaft having an elastic pretension in the through-bore thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An assembled shaft, comprising: a hollow shaft of a material having a modulus of elasticity; elements with through-bores attached to the shaft by expansion of the shaft in individual associated longitudinal portions; and supporting sleeves provided inside individual hollow shaft portions inside individual of the elements, respectively, so as to rest against the hollow shaft and be plastically expanded in situ thereby expanding the shaft, at least the individual elements of both the elements and the hollow shaft having an elastic pretension in the through-bore thereof, the supporting sleeves being of a material having a modulus of elasticity higher than the modulus of elasticity of the hollow shaft material, the hollow shaft being comprised of two layers over its complete length, the two layers including an outer layer made of a high-tensile bearing material.
