Uses:
This type of drive shaft is commonly used in the following areas:
Automobiles and motorcycles:
In automobiles and motorcycles, the drive shaft is mainly used to transmit the engine drive wheel transmission components. In the transmission shaft, the main purpose is to transmit the engine power to the drive wheel, especially in rear-drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, the drive shaft is an important component connecting the front and rear axles.
Industrial machinery:
The drive shaft is widely used in industrial machinery, such as pumps, amplifiers, motors, etc., and is the role of transmitting power from the motor or other power source to the working part of the machinery.
In machinery, the drive shaft is also used to transmit power. For example, tractors and other equipment transmit agricultural power to working devices such as tillers and seeders through the drive shaft.
Ship:
In some ships or marine equipment, the drive shaft is used to transmit the engine power to propulsion equipment such as propellers.
Processing technology:
The processing of the drive shaft requires extremely high precision and strength. Common processing technologies include:
Turning:
Turning is one of the commonly used processing technologies, which is used to manufacture the outer circle, end face, keyway and other parts of the shaft. The lathe can accurately control the shape of the shaft.
Grinding: The surface of the transmission shaft needs to achieve extremely high precision and smoothness, and cutting technology is usually used for post-processing, especially the key grinding of the bearing contact surface and parts.
Heat treatment: The transmission shaft generally uses heat treatment (such as quenching, tempering, etc.) to improve its hardness, strength and wear resistance to ensure long-term stable operation under high-load working conditions.
Milling and drilling: If it is necessary to process threaded holes, bearing seats and other structures on the transmission, milling or workpiece processing is often used to ensure the accuracy of component matching.
Balancing and testing: Since the transmission shaft needs to rotate at high speed, its balance must be guaranteed. Dynamic balancing is usually performed to eliminate any unbalanced factors that may cause vibration.
