Shaft

Overview of Shaft

A shaft is a cylindrical mechanical component that rotates and transmits torque, power, or motion between different parts in machinery. Typically made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, shafts are critical elements in various machines, including motors, engines, and turbines.

Features of Shaft

Shafts feature high tensile strength and durability, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads. They come in various sizes and materials, tailored to specific applications. Precision manufacturing ensures minimal tolerance for optimal fit and function. Surface treatments may be applied to enhance wear resistance.
