Abstract
A shaft-and-yoke coupling structure includes a presser plate which covers outer surface of a U-shaped shaft insertion portion of a yoke and which has claws bent toward an inner surface of each end portion of the shaft insertion portion. The claws press the shaft inserted into the shaft insertion portion, and this pressing by the claws prevents the shaft from being axially decentered. Also, the shaft is temporarily secured to the yoke with the claws, a work for bolting the shaft is facilitated. Thus, the shaft-and-yoke coupling structure is superior in workability and capable of correct assembling shaft and yoke.
