Abstract

A motor rotor and a method for manufacturing a motor rotor, enabling crimping of the resolver rotor at low cost with less influence on the detection accuracy. A motor rotor includes a resolver rotor and a rotor shaft to which the resolver rotor is affixed by crimping. The rotor shaft includes a first stepped section with which a crimping punch makes contact to deform the first stepped section, a second stepped section with which an end surface of the resolver rotor makes contact, and a cutout groove formed in a surface which is located near the first stepped section and with which an inner peripheral hole section of the resolver rotor makes contact. In the crimping operation, the first stepped section of the rotor shaft is bent within the cutout groove to form a crimping protrusion which presses the end surface of the resolver rotor.
