Drive Shaft Interface

Drive shaft interface connecting infeed starwheel to power source in packaging machinery

Component Specifications

Definition
A precision mechanical interface component that transmits rotational torque from the main drive system to the infeed starwheel in automated packaging equipment. It ensures synchronized motion between the drive mechanism and starwheel fingers for accurate product positioning and transfer.
Working Principle
Converts rotational input from drive motor/gearbox to controlled output motion through splined or keyed connection, maintaining precise angular alignment and torque transmission while accommodating minor misalignments.
Materials
Case-hardened alloy steel (e.g., 4140/4340) with surface hardness 58-62 HRC, corrosion-resistant coating optional
Technical Parameters
ParameterTypical rangeNotes & selection driver
Max RPM1200
MountingFlange or direct coupling
LubricationGrease-packed or oil-bath
Connection TypeSplined/Keyed
Torque Capacity50-200 Nm
Operating Temperature-20°C to 80°C
