Transmitting power: Bearings are responsible for transmitting rotational power from one component to another, such as transmitting the rotation of an electric motor to other mechanical components.
Supporting and positioning components: Shafts can serve as supporting elements for mechanical devices, fixing and positioning other components to ensure their correct position and movement.
Bearing load: Bearings are responsible for bearing loads from other components, such as torque, weight, etc., to maintain the stability and reliability of the equipment.
Transmitting motion: Shafts can transmit rotational motion to other parts, or convert one form of motion into another, such as converting rotational motion into linear motion.
Friction reduction: Through components such as bearings, shafts can reduce friction between mechanical components, improving the efficiency and life of the equipment.
Adjust speed and rotation: The speed and rotation of the shaft in mechanical equipment can be adjusted through its designed size, shape and material to meet the requirements under different working conditions. By changing the diameter, length or shape of the shaft, the transmitted torque and speed ratio can be changed, thereby adjusting the operating parameters of the mechanical equipment.
Provide connection interface: The shaft is usually used as an interface to connect different components. For example, the shaft and other components are fixed together through keyways, threads, pin holes and other connection methods to form a complete mechanical system.
Transmitting signals and control: In some mechanical systems, shafts can also be used to transmit signals or control information, such as monitoring motion status or measuring rotational speed through encoders or sensors installed on the shaft to monitor and control equipment.
These functions make the mechanical equipment shaft an indispensable part of the entire mechanical system, which has an important impact on the performance, reliability and accuracy of the mechanical equipment.
