What Is the Function of the Connection Shaft?

2024-07-27

The core functions of the connection shaft in the mechanical system are diverse and critical. It not only carries the core mission of support, transmission and power, but is also subdivided into multiple types according to different load characteristics to adapt to various application requirements.

1. Support function: The connection shaft serves as a solid backing for the rotating parts, maintaining the balance and stability of these parts during the rotation process, ensuring that they can perform their rotation movements smoothly and unimpeded.

2. Transmission of torque and bending moment: Through its structural design and material properties, the connection shaft can effectively transmit torque (i.e. rotational force) or bending moment (i.e. bending force) along its axis to the target rotating parts accurately, realizing the precise conversion and transmission of power and force.

3. Power transmission: The connection shaft plays a key role in power transmission in the mechanical system, continuously delivering the energy of the power source to each part that needs to rotate, driving the entire mechanical system to operate efficiently and orderly.

In addition, according to the different load types and uses of the shaft, the connection shaft is subdivided into multiple types, such as transmission shafts, spindles and rotating shafts. The drive shaft focuses on efficient power transmission, the spindle focuses on stable support for rotating parts, and the rotating shaft combines power transmission and support functions in one, showing more comprehensive performance characteristics. These different types of connection shafts each have their own functions and together constitute an indispensable and important part of the mechanical system.
