What is Marine intermediate shaft and drive shaft?
Marine intermediate shaft is usually located between the main motor and the gear base, or between the main motor and the universal shaft, which plays the role of connecting and transmitting power.
Intermediate shaft is a cylindrical object worn in the middle of the bearing or the middle of the wheel or the middle of the gear, generally in the shape of a metal rod, and each segment can have different diameters. In order to ensure its stiffness and strength, the whole shaft body is often forged during manufacturing, but for some small ships, the torque transmitted is smaller, and round steel with similar materials is also processed by machine tools. The length of the intermediate shaft depends on the type of ship and the design of the cabin, usually a solid shaft, but some ships in order to reduce the overall weight of the shaft shaft design hollow shaft.
Marine drive shaft is another important part of the Marine transmission system, which together with the intermediate shaft constitutes the Marine transmission system. The role of the transmission shaft is to transfer the power of the engine to the propeller, so that the ship can achieve forward, backward, speed and change of direction and other actions. The transmission shaft is generally made of high-strength steel with a hardened surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.
Marine intermediate shaft and drive shaft are important components of Marine transmission system, each of which has different functions and characteristics.
