Drive Shaft Interface Component – Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

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

Max RPM 1200
Mounting Flange or direct coupling
Lubrication Grease-packed or oil-bath
Connection Type Splined/Keyed
Torque Capacity 50-200 Nm
Operating Temperature -20°C to 80°C

Standards

ISO 4156, DIN 5480, ISO 286-2
