Propeller
Shaft is the shaft that transmits power from the gearbox to the
differential gear in a motor vehicle from the engine to the propeller in a boat
or flying machine.
Propeller
shaft, sometimes called a cardan shaft, transmits power from the gearbox to the
rear axle. Regularly the shaft has a tubular section and is made in maybe a
couple piece constructions.
The
two-piece arrangement is supported at the midpoint by an elastic mounted
bearing. In order to transmit the power from the last drive assembly to the
road wheels short drive shafts are needed to be incorporated in both front and
rear wheel drive layouts.
Propeller
shaft or a cardan
shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation,
usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be
connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement
between them. Propeller shaft make any machine move. Drive shafts are carriers
of torque: they are subject to torsion and shear stress, equivalent to the
difference between the input torque and the load. They must therefore be strong
enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that
would in turn increase their inertia.
Dullabh
commercials are one of the leading cardan
shaft manufacturers in India among all cardan
shaft suppliers. We have cardan
shaft parts, universal joint shaft and
a Universal joint cross.
Types of Propeller Shaft:
- Single-Piece-Type Propeller Shaft:
- Used in vehicles with a short distance between the engine and axles, and MR based four-wheel-drive vehicles.
- The friction weldingadopted at the junction contributes to an improvement in the strength, quality, and durability of the junction.
2. 2-piece-type/3-piece-type Propeller Shaft:
- Utilized as a part of vehicles with a long distance between the engine and axles, and Front engine front drive base four-wheel-drive vehicles.
- The division of the propeller shaft into two- or three-parts allows the critical number of revolution to lowered preventing vibration issue from occurring, when the overall length of the shaft increased.
