ABSTRACT:
A component mounting system that includes a rotor stem, nut, and mechanical interface. The mechanical interface defines a shaped surface and is integral with the component. An axial opening in the component permits the component to be mounted on the rotor stem. The nut defines a second shaped surface and one or more annular slots. As the nut is advanced along a threaded portion of the rotor stem, the shaped surfaces contact each other and serve to automatically center the component on the rotor stem. The annular slot defined by the nut permits the nut to elastically deform under the influence of various operating conditions, and thereby alleviate forces that are exerted on the elements of the component mounting system.
