Corresponding fixed positionally accurate connections between the rotor shaft and the rotor elements must be ensured in all operating conditions, that is, especially in the event of strong temperature and speed fluctuations. In the case of known multi-part rotors, in particular rotors having a plurality of rotor disks, this is achieved in that the rotor disk has a great excess in relation to the rotor shaft for joining. To the Joining, it is then required to cool the rotor shaft strong and to heat the rotor elements strongly to allow pressing the rotor elements on the shaft.
