Gear shafts are essential components in various mechanical systems, providing torque transmission and rotational motion. Our high-quality gear shafts are manufactured to meet industry standards, ensuring durability and performance in demanding applications. Below you'll find detailed product specifications and answers to frequently asked questions.
| Diameter (mm) | Length Range (mm) | Module Range |
|---|---|---|
| 10-50 | 50-1000 | 0.5-4 |
| 50-100 | 100-2000 | 4-8 |
| 100-200 | 200-3000 | 8-12 |
The material selection depends on your operational requirements. Carbon steel offers good strength for general applications, while alloy steels provide better fatigue resistance for heavy-duty use. Stainless steel is recommended for corrosive environments. For high-wear applications, case hardened steel with surface hardness HRC 58-62 provides optimal performance.
Gear shafts typically fail due to bending fatigue, torsional fatigue, or surface pitting. Proper material selection, heat treatment, and lubrication significantly extend service life. Regular inspection for signs of wear, cracks, or deformation can prevent catastrophic failures in mechanical systems.
Regular lubrication with appropriate grease or oil is essential. Inspect for wear patterns, noise, or vibration every 500 operating hours. For critical applications, vibration analysis and oil particle monitoring can predict failure before it occurs. Proper alignment during installation prevents premature wear.
Yes, we specialize in custom gear shaft manufacturing. Provide your detailed requirements including material specifications, dimensional tolerances, heat treatment needs, and surface finish requirements. Our engineering team will review your specifications and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your application.
Standard gear shafts are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks depending on size and material. Custom projects may require 4-8 weeks for design, prototyping, and production. Expedited services are available for urgent requirements with additional charges.
The load capacity depends on material strength, heat treatment, and geometric design. Our engineers calculate load capacity using AGMA 2001, DIN 3990 or ISO 6336 standards. Provide your application parameters (torque, RPM, operating cycles) and we'll recommend the appropriate shaft design.
