Application of New Materials and Manufacturing Techniques for Drive Shafts

Drive Shaft


What are the classifications of transmission shafts?

Transmission shaft is a mechanical device used to transmit power or torque, commonly found in vehicles and mechanical equipment. According to its structure and usage, drive shafts can be classified into the following types:

Line Shaft: Line shaft is a device that transmits power from one location to another and is commonly found in industrial machinery and conveyor belt systems.

Drive shafts: Drive shafts are commonly used in cars, trucks and other vehicles. The drive shaft transmits power from the engine to the vehicle's drive wheels. There are usually two drive shafts, connecting the engine and the front or rear wheel drive respectively.

Propeller shaft: Propeller shaft is a type of transmission used in four-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive vehicles. It connects the vehicle's transmission (such as the transmission) and rear wheel drive (such as the differential).

Half Shaft: Half shafts are typically used in front-wheel drive vehicles, which transfer power from the transmission to the front wheels. Each front wheel has a half shaft.

Thrust Shafts: Thrust shafts are commonly used in ships and aircraft to transfer power from the engine to the propulsion unit that propels the ship or aircraft forward.

Above are some common classifications of transmission shafts. Which type of transmission shafts to use depends on the requirements of the application and the needs of the design.
