Abstract
A turbomachine for use as a compressor has a tubular housing centered on an axis, a rotor at least generally centered on the axis in the housing, and bearings supporting the rotor in the housing for rotation about the axis. The rotor is formed by a small-diameter shaft extending along and centered on the axis, formed with at least one mounting collar, and carried by the bearings, and by a plurality of annular disks fitted axially together and formed with radially outwardly extending vanes. At least one of the disks is fitted with and secured to the mounting collar.
