back shaft

The function of a back shaft varies significantly depending on its specific application field (mainly mechanical engineering, automotive, and textile industries), as it serves different roles in different devices. Below are its core functions categorized by common scenarios:

1. In General Mechanical Engineering (e.g., reducers, industrial machinery)

Auxiliary torque transmission: Works with the main shaft to transfer power between mechanical components, especially in complex transmission systems where multi-shaft coordination is required.
Support for rotating parts: Provides a stable mounting base for components like gears, bearings, or pulleys, ensuring they rotate smoothly without deviation.
Load distribution: Shares the mechanical load from the main shaft, reducing stress on key components and extending the overall service life of the equipment.
