Drive Shafts
Drive shafts are an integral part of any drivetrain. They can also be called propeller shafts or prop shafts. The drive shaft transmits torque and rotates between the powered components like the engine or transmission, to the driven parts, such as wheels or axle.
- Material: Stainless steel
- Dimensions: Custom manufactured to specific requirements
- Manufacturing Process: CNC Machining
Outstanding Features of Drive Shafts
- Lightweight and low inertia: Significant reduction in rotational mass and moment of inertia. This means less energy is required to start, accelerate and stop, and the system responds faster and more sensitively.
- High rotational speed capability: Due to their small size and light weight, they produce less unbalanced centrifugal force, so they can safely and smoothly reach very high speeds (tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of RPM) without causing violent vibration or resonance problems.
- Save space and compact design: The compact size enables it to be integrated into devices and devices with extremely limited space, and is a key component for product miniaturization.

Applications of Drive Shafts
Robotics and automation
Installed in the joint of an industrial robot and a cooperative robot, it transmits the power of a micro servo motor to the actuator; used for Z-axis transmission of precision assembly line and SCARA robot.
Precision medical equipment
Core driving components for dental mobile phones (dental drills), orthopedic surgical drills/saws, minimally invasive surgical instruments (such as rotary cutting head for laparoscopic surgery), and high-speed centrifuges (used for blood separation).
