Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered mechanical interface component that facilitates the connection and power transmission between the vehicle's drive mechanism (engine/transmission assembly) and the carriage body/frame structure. It ensures proper alignment, torque transfer, and vibration isolation while maintaining structural integrity under dynamic loads.
Working Principle
The interface operates by providing a rigid yet compliant connection point that transmits rotational torque from the drive mechanism to the frame while accommodating thermal expansion, manufacturing tolerances, and operational vibrations through precisely engineered mounting surfaces, fastening systems, and isolation elements.
Materials
High-strength alloy steel (e.g., SAE 4140), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or composite materials with surface treatments including zinc plating, powder coating, or anodizing for corrosion resistance
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 2.5-8.5 kg
  • Torque Capacity 500-2000 Nm
  • Surface Hardness HRC 28-45
  • Dimensional Tolerance ±0.1 mm
  • Mounting Bolt Pattern ISO metric thread M10-M16
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, DIN 912, SAE J429
