Extension Shaft
Item Name Code (INC) 18437
 |
An item consisting of a length of rigid shafting designed to be coupled to the shaft of items such as variable capacitors, switches, hand cranks and the like. It is specifically designed to increase the length of the original shaft and may also effect a change in the shaft diameter. Includes coupling(s) or has processed end(s) to facilitate the attachment of a coupling device. May have provision for electrically insulating the extension shaft from the other shaft.
Additional Information for Extension Shaft
Extension shafts are components of mechanical power transmission equipment that are classified under the supply class Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment in the supply group Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.
Extension shafts are used to connect two rotating components that are not directly aligned with each other. They provide a means of extending the length of a shaft to reach a different location or to bridge a gap between two components.
These shafts are typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum to ensure strength and durability. They are designed to transmit torque and rotational motion from one component to another, allowing for the efficient transfer of power.
Extension shafts come in various lengths, diameters, and configurations to accommodate different applications and requirements. They may have keyways, splines, or other types of connections to securely attach to the rotating components.
Overall, extension shafts play a crucial role in mechanical power transmission systems by enabling the connection and synchronization of rotating components that are not directly aligned.
