CCS Certificated Forged 42CrMo Steel 6 Meter Transmission Driven Shaft For Ship

1) Description of Drive Shaft/ Driven Shaft

A drive shaft is a component for transmitting mechanical power and torque and rotation, usually used to

connect other components of a drivetrain that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the

need to allow for relative movement between them.

As torque carriers, drive shafts are subject to torsion and shear stress, equivalent to the difference

between the input torque and the load. They must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress while

avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase their inertia.
