Product Description
Product Introduction
Structure: A precision-machined integral shaft made from high-strength nickel-chromium alloy steel, featuring multi-stage splined sections for mounting counter gears. The surface is carburized, quenched, and ground to achieve a hardness of HRC 58–62, ensuring extreme wear and fatigue resistance. The shaft is coated with a black oxide finish for corrosion protection.
Performance: The high-hardness splined sections withstand extreme torque and impact forces, while the precision-machined surface ensures concentricity and minimal backlash. The integral design eliminates the risk of shaft separation, ensuring reliable operation under heavy-duty conditions.
Core Function
Torque Transmission: Transfers torque from the input shaft gear to the output shaft gear, enabling gear ratio changes in the transmission.
Gear Support: Provides a rigid mounting platform for counter gears, ensuring precise alignment and smooth meshing.
Heavy-Duty Durability: The high-strength alloy steel and heat treatment withstand frequent shifts and extreme torque in heavy hauling, ensuring long service life.
