Example of the shaft application in industries and the systems workout?
Answer:
*A driveshaft, driving shaft, or Cardan shaft is a mechanical device for transferring power from the engine or motor to the point where useful work is applied.
Most engines or motors deliver power as torque through rotary motion: this is extracted from the linear motion of pistons in a reciprocating engine; water driving a water wheel; or forced gas or water in a turbine. From the point of delivery, the components of power transmission form the drive train.
Driveshafts are carriers of torque: they are subject to torsion and shear stress, which represents the difference between the input force and the load. They thus need to be strong enough to bear the stress, without imposing too great an additional inertia by virtue of the weight of the shaft.
*Most automobiles today use rigid driveshafts to deliver power from a transmission to the wheels. A pair of short driveshafts is commonly used to send power from a central differential, transmission, or transaxle to the wheels.
In front-engined, rear-drive vehicles, a longer driveshaft is also required to send power the length of the vehicle. Two forms dominate: The torque tube with a single universal joint and the Hotchkiss drive with two or more joints. This system became known as Système Panhard after the automobile company, Panhard et Levassor patented it.
*In British English, the term "driveshaft" is restricted to a transverse shaft which transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A driveshaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft (or more commonly a "prop-shaft") and a driveshaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel is usually called a halfshaft. The name derives from the fact that two such shafts are required to form one rear axle.
There are different types of driveshafts in Automotive Industry:
1 piece driveshaft
2 piece driveshaft
Slip in Tube driveshaft
The Slip in Tube Driveshaft is the new type which also helps in Crash Energy Management. It can be compressed in case of crash. It is also known as a collapsible driveshaft.
*In short, shaft is a vital component in allmost all the rotating equiment like pump,motor,compressor,agitator...
It may be a simple stepped shaft,crank-shaft in D.G.SETS,Telescopic shaft as in milling m/cs and vehicals.
