The propeller shaft is a rotating body with high speed and less support, so its dynamic balance is very important. Generally, the propeller shaft must undergo a dynamic balance test before leaving the factory and adjusted on the balance machine. For a front-engine rear-wheel-drive car, the rotation of the transmission is transmitted to the shaft of the final reducer. It can be several sections, and the sections can be connected by universal joints.

The propeller shaft is an important part of the transmission of power in the automobile driveline. Its function is to transmit the power of the engine to the wheels together with the gearbox and drive axle so that the car generates driving force.

The propeller shaft is composed of a shaft tube, a telescopic sleeve and a universal joint. The telescopic sleeve can automatically adjust the distance between the transmission and the drive axle. The universal joint ensures the change of the angle between the output shaft of the transmission and the input shaft of the drive axle and realizes the constant angular speed transmission of the two shafts.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the propeller shaft and prolong its service life, attention should be paid to the following during use: 1. It is strictly forbidden for a car to start at high gear. 2. It is strictly forbidden to lift the clutch pedal sharply. 3. It is strictly forbidden for cars to be overloaded or speeding. 4. The working condition of the propeller shaft should be checked frequently. 5. Check the tightness of the propeller shaft hanger, whether the supporting rubber is damaged, whether the connecting parts of the propeller shaft are loose, and whether the propeller shaft is deformed. 6. In order to ensure the dynamic balance of the propeller shaft, you should always pay attention to whether the balance welding piece is unsoldered. The new propeller shaft assembly is provided as a complete set. When loading the new propeller shaft, pay attention to the assembly mark of the telescopic sleeve and ensure that the flange fork is in a plane. When repairing and disassembling the propeller shaft, the assembly mark should be printed on the telescopic sleeve and the flange shaft in order to keep the original assembly relationship unchanged during reassembly.
