A rotor assembly for a stepping motor is provided by locating one flat side of a brittle annular rotor disc against an annular alignment surface on a hub and mounting the hub with aligned rotor disc thereon on a central shaft carrying an annular clamping washer. The clamping washer includes an inner peripheral portion which is clamped between first and second abutment surfaces on the shaft and hub and a resilient outer peripheral portion which bears axially against the other flat side of the rotor disc with a spring-like bias to clamp the disc in prealigned position on the hub. Required alignment of the brittle rotor disc is thereby achieved while minimizing the danger of breakage and also reducing the number of rotor components and assembly steps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A rotor assembly useful for a stepping motor, comprising: (a) a central shaft having a pinion thereon, the pinion having an end surface forming a first annular abutment surface projecting radially therefrom intermediate the shaft ends, (b) a hub mounted on intermediate portions of said shaft and having a second annular abutment surface projecting radially therefrom in spaced, facing relationship to the first annular abutment surface of said shaft, (c) an annular clamping washer having an inner peripheral portion clamped between the first and second abutment surfaces of said shaft and hub and having a resilient outer peripheral portion, and (d) an annular rotor disc having oppositely facing flat sides with one side located on the hub in a preselected axial position and the other side facing the clamping washer with the resilient outer peripheral portion of said washer bearing axially against said other side to clamp the rotor disc in preselected axial position on the hub.
2.
A rotor assembly useful for a stepping motor, comprising; (a) a central shaft having a first annular abutment surface projecting radially therefrom intermediate the shaft ends, (b) a hub mounted on intermediate portions of said shaft and having a second annular abutment surface projecting radially therefrom in spaced, facing relationship to the first annular abutment surface of said shaft, and wherein the hub includes an annular, radially projecting shoulder preformed at a selected axial position remote from said second abutment surface to accommodate and locate said one flat side of the rotor disc, (c) an annular clamping washer having an inner peripheral portion clamped between the first and second abutment surfaces of said shaft and hub and having a resilient outer peripheral portion, and (d) an annular rotor disc having oppositely facing flat sides with one side located on the hub in a preselected axial position and the other side facing the clamping washer with the resilient outer peripheral portion of said washer bearing axially against said other side to clamp the rotor disc in preselected axial position on the hub
