Specification and Design of Shafts

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Automotive Transmissions

Abstract

The specification and design of transmission shafts is of special significance in the layout of vehicle transmissions. Shaft diameters are a key factor in determining the centre distance of a gearbox, and thus its size. Strength andresistance to deformation must therefore be carefully considered during the design process.

The size of a gearbox is largely determined by the diameters of the transmission shafts
