Drive shaft design: deformation and other problems

The design of the drive shaft is usually one of the most critical processes in the design of the reducer. Are you about to work on a project and are not sure about the procedure to follow for drive shaft design? In the following article, we will show you the steps to follow when designing drive shafts and other shafts.

In mechanical engineering, an axisymmetric object specifically designed to transmit power is called a drive shaft.

Shafts are used to support the fixed, swinging or rotating parts of the machine, but they do not transmit any angular momentum and therefore will bend.

Similarly, a drive shaft is a shaft that transmits torque and bears torsional loads. This is the result of a pair of transfers, and may be affected by other types of mechanical stress at the same time.

The typical shaft layout is a stepped element with a circular cross-section, and its center has a wider cross-section, so multiple elements can be installed at its ends, which will result in a larger section modulus in the curved central area. Larger load.
