Abstract
A rotor assembly adapted for a gas turbine engine includes a shaft, a wheel, and a retaining nut. The shaft extends along an axis and includes a first tapered surface. The wheel is arranged circumferentially around the shaft and includes a second tapered surface. The retaining nut is fastened to the shaft and applies an axial force to the wheel to couple the wheel with the shaft.
