Transmission Output Shaft Forging

An output shaft is the shaft of the power output, used in reducer, large machinery industry, etc.. It transmits power from the prime mover to the units or parts to be operated.

The output shaft is connected to the drive wheels and it turns at a speed determined by the gear you have selected. In the lower gears this speed will be lower than the input shaft's speed to allow the engine to be running at an efficient speed while the driven wheels are turning at a manageable speed. In top gear however, the output shaft will be turning at close to the input shaft's speed.
