What are the hazards of transmission shaft oil seal leakage?
1 Answers
The hazards of transmission shaft oil seal leakage include: 1. Reduced lifespan of the transmission shaft; 2. Increased failure rate due to transmission shaft issues. The transmission shaft is a high-speed rotating body with minimal support, making dynamic balance crucial. Generally, transmission shafts undergo dynamic balance testing before leaving the factory and are adjusted on a balancing machine. The transmission shaft is a vital component in the vehicle's drivetrain for transmitting power, working together with the gearbox and drive axle to transfer the engine's power to the wheels, generating driving force for the vehicle. The transmission shaft consists of an axle tube, telescopic sleeve, and universal joint. The telescopic sleeve automatically adjusts for distance variations between the transmission and drive axle, while the universal joint ensures changes in the angle between the gearbox output shaft and drive axle input shaft, achieving constant angular velocity transmission between the two shafts.
