Drive shaft production

    Definition and classification of automobile axle shafts

    The key is connected with the half shaft gear, and the outer end is connected with the hub. The half shaft is also called a drive axle.

    The semi-axes commonly used in modern cars, according to their different supporting types, have two types: full-floating and semi-floating. (There are also three types, namely full-floating, 3/4-floating, and semi-floating).

    The full-floating half-shaft only transmits torque, does not bear any reaction force or bending moment. The cooperation with independent suspension is beneficial to improve the comfort of the vehicle, so it is widely used in various Class car. The full-floating half-axle is easy to disassemble and assemble. The half-axle can be drawn out by unscrewing the fixing bolts of the half-axle during maintenance. The wheels and axle housing can still support the car, which brings convenience to car maintenance.

    The semi-floating half shaft not only transmits torque but also bears all reaction forces and bending moments. Its supporting structure is simple and low in cost, and it is mainly suitable for pickup and SUV vehicles that do not require high comfort. However, this kind of half-shaft support is troublesome to dismantle, and if the half-shaft breaks during driving, it is easy to cause the danger of wheels flying off, which is a form that is about to be eliminated.
