Barshaft
Fabrication process
-
-
Tube manufacturing, which generally manufactured by the extrusion or seamless rolling process
Tube cutting, which once manufactured, the barshaft cut to the required length
Welding, which the barshaft ends are often welded to the barshaft's end fittings
Machining and balancing, which to ensure precise dimensions and balancing
-
-
Function
Accommodating suspension movement which it needs to be flexible to accommodate the vertical movement of the wheels caused by the vehicle’s suspension system.
Transmit the torque and rotational power form the engine or transmission to the wheels of a vehicle.
Torque absorption which absorbing and dampening torque fluctuations and vibrations generated by the engine or the transmission.
-
Heat treatment process
Annealing, which involves heating the material barshaft to a high temperature and then slowly cooling to relieve internal stresses
Normalizing: Involves heating the barshaft to a temperature above critical range, then air cooled
Quenching and tempering: Quenching is a rapid cooling process where the heated material is quenched in a medium such as oil or water, meanwhile, tempering involves reheating the barshaft to a specific temperature and holding it to reduce the brittleness
Material
Generally made from steel, aluminium alloys or other metal alloys
