Description of Drive Shaft

Automotive drive shaft is an important part of the vehicle power transmission system, mainly used to connect the transmission and drive axle, the engine output power transfer to the wheels, thereby driving the vehicle forward. The drive shaft is generally composed of tubular shaft, universal joint, slip spline and other parts, and some vehicles will use carbon fiber or aluminum alloy material to reduce weight and improve transmission efficiency.

Function of Drive Shaft

The drive shaft plays a key role in the automobile power system, which can efficiently transfer the power of the engine and transmission to the drive axle, so that the wheels get a stable driving force. In the process of vehicle driving, due to the expansion of the suspension system will cause the axis change, the transmission shaft relies on the universal joint to compensate the Angle change to ensure the smooth transmission of power. In addition, part of the drive shaft is equipped with a buffer structure, which can effectively reduce torque shock, improve driving smoothness, while reducing transmission and differential wear, thereby improving the durability of the vehicle. The drive shaft is widely used in front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), four-wheel drive (4WD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) and other different types of drive systems to meet the power needs of a variety of models.
