Abstract
In a method for producing a motor rotor, a lamination stack made up of stacked thin steel sheets each formed with a through hole, the lamination stack having a shaft bore formed of the through holes aligned with one another, is retained as a rotor core in a thickness direction with a pair of jigs from both sides, and a shaft is inserted into the shaft bore and joined to the lamination stack by shrink fitting. Each jig includes a shaft hole, a radially inner peripheral portion for holding a peripheral edge of the shaft bore of the lamination stack at a position, in a radial direction of the shaft hole, surrounding the shaft hole radially inside; and a radially outer peripheral portion for holding the outer periphery of the lamination stack. The radially inner and outer peripheral portions are positioned at different heights in a jig height direction.
