Transmission shafts are cylindrical steel rods used in machinery and vehicles to transmit power and motion. They are produced from special alloy steels that provide high strength, impact resistance, and fatigue life. Common materials include quenched and tempered steels or case-hardened steels, chosen for their durability and machinability. These shafts can be easily processed by turning, milling, and threading, ensuring reliable and long-lasting motion transfer.
