I have been using aluminum rotors on aluminum hubs on a phenolic
shaft for quite some time now, with no problems. The axial
voltage stress down the shaft is about 3kV/in. The shaft surface
is ribbed like an insulator, in order to resist surface flashover.
The bearing supports are phenolic plate, as well.
