Stepped Shaft Forgings
What is stepped shaft forgings? From the shape point of view, it is a forging that is divided into a shaft head, a shaft journal, a shaft body, a shaft shoulder and a shaft ring in a stepped shape. The stepped shaft is widely used in the transmission system, and its main function is to locate the installed parts. Its machining allowance is small, which reduces the waste of materials and saves costs. It has the characteristics of good stability and long service life.
This article will introduce the advantages, application, manufacturing process, supply size and other information of the stepped shaft in detail.
Why Is Transmission Shaft Stepped
Designing the shaft as a stepped shaft has more advantages than a flat ordinary shaft. The design is stepped, which not only saves materials and reduces costs, but also has the advantage of high torsional rigidity. Because the shaft is subjected to high torque during transmission or gear shifting, to overcome this problem, the shaft is made stepped so that most of the torque can be specifically transferred to a specific step. And it can be made into a stepped shape so that the parts can be assembled to the required positions one by one.
Stepped Shaft Advantages
- Fast positioning of installation parts
- High precision, high strength
- Good anti-vibration ability
- Multi-stage structure, multiple functions
- Strong carrying capacity
- Simple manufacturing process and low maintenance cost
- Wide range of applications
Stepped Shaft Application
Stepped shafts are usually used for assembly, disassembly and fixing of parts, and are also used in various mechanical transmission systems and industrial equipment, such as automation equipment, machine tools, electronic equipment, printing machinery, etc. It is also used in the positioning of lifting machinery components in overhead cranes and in braking mechanisms for handling train traction in railway systems.
