ABSTRACT:
A drive shaft for an automotive vehicle water pump has an outer race with plural outer raceways formed in an inner peripheral wall thereof, a shaft member disposed for rotation relative to the outer race and defining a like plural number of inner raceways formed in an outer peripheral wall of the shaft member in radial registration with the corresponding outer raceways, and a multiplicity of rolling elements arranged between the inner raceways and the corresponding outer raceways, respectively. The shaft member comprises a large-diameter bearing portion with the plural inner raceways formed in an outer peripheral wall thereof, a small-diameter impeller shaft portion extending from one end of the large-diameter bearing portion, a small-diameter pulley shaft portion, and a continuously-connecting portion extending between an opposite end of the large-diameter bearing portion and a proximal end of the small-diameter pulley shaft portion. The continuously-connecting portion presents a curved peripheral surface with circular arcs in tangential directions of which an outer peripheral wall of the small-diameter pulley portion extends.
