Component Specifications

Definition
A critical rotating mechanical component designed to transfer torque and rotational energy from a drive system to a processing drum in industrial machinery. It maintains precise alignment, supports radial and axial loads, and ensures smooth rotation under operational stresses.
Working Principle
Converts input rotational energy from a motor or drive into controlled rotational motion of the processing drum through mechanical coupling, utilizing bearings for support and minimizing friction.
Materials
Typically manufactured from high-strength alloy steel (e.g., AISI 4140, 4340) or stainless steel (e.g., 316L) with heat treatment (quenching and tempering) to achieve hardness (HRC 40-50) and fatigue resistance. Surface treatments may include nitriding or chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Length 500-3000 mm
  • Max RPM 1000-3000
  • Diameter 50-200 mm
  • Tolerance IT6-IT7
  • Load Capacity Radial: 5-20 kN, Axial: 2-10 kN
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.8-1.6 μm
Standards
ISO 286-2, DIN 748
