The connecting shaft is used to bridge large shaft distances.
Function: The main function of a connecting shaft is to transmit rotary motion from a drive source to one or more other components that may not be in close proximity.
Structure: Connecting shafts are usually cylindrical or prismatic components, often made of steel or other high-strength materials. They can be smooth or splined, depending on the requirements of the application.
Applications: Connecting shafts are used in a variety of machinery and mechanical systems, including vehicles, industrial machinery, transmission systems, pumps, generators and more.
Types: There are different types of connecting shafts, including straight shafts, cardan shafts, cardan shafts, hollow shafts and intermediate shafts. Each type has specific characteristics and applications that make it suitable for certain uses.
