A fuel pump includes an output shaft of a motor and an impeller configured to rotate integrally with the output shaft. An outer periphery of the output shaft includes a first flat portion for engaging with the impeller. The impeller includes a through hole at a center thereof, the through hole being larger than an outer diameter of the output shaft and including a second flat portion for engaging with the output shaft. In this fuel pump, when the output shaft and the impeller are arranged coaxially, spots exist which have different lengths of a gap between the first flat portion and the second flat portion in a rotational axis direction of the output shaft.

A blower includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet, a bearing-housing structure provided to the housing and adapted to rotatably support a rotor, a motor provided to the bearing-housing structure and adapted to drive the rotor, and an impeller provided to the rotor. The bearing-housing structure includes a bearing shaft having a bearing surface that rotatably supports the rotor. The bearing shaft provides only a single bearing of the non-ball bearing type for the rotor.

The invention relates to a shaft-hub connection (1), particularly for mounting a rotor wheel on a shaft (10). The shaft-hub connection (1) comprises a shaft (10), a hub (20) and a filler material (30). The shaft (10) comprises an end section (11) on one end. A receiving region (21) is arranged in the hub (20). The end section (11) is arranged in the receiving region (21), with an intermediate layer of the filler material (30) positioned inbetween. The filler material (30) forms undercuts in the axial and rotational direction, in relation to the end section (11) and in relation to the receiving region (21), so as to create a positive embodiment of the shaft-hub connnection (1).

A rotary machine includes a cylindrical rotary shaft extending in a direction of an axis, a fastening bolt having a bolt body that extends in a direction of an axis 0 in the rotary shaft to form fastening portions at both ends, a pair of rotary bodies each having an end portion in the direction of the axis that is fixed to each of the pair of fastening portions to be in contact with an end surface of the rotary shaft in the direction of the axis, and a bolt extension mechanism that temporarily extends the bolt body in the direction of the axis.

A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.
