The output shaft is one of the critical components of a motor assembly, primarily functioning to drive the operation of other equipment through its rotational motion. To accommodate the operational requirements of various types of equipment, different output shaft designs are available for adaptation.
The need for diverse output shafts may stem from factors such as rotational speed, torque, load capacity, high precision, and reliability. In summary, the appropriate motor output shaft must be customized based on the specific application scenario.
Below are nine distinct output shaft types, showcasing custom solutions developed by Fengtech for clients as reference examples:
1. Hollow Shaft
Hollow shafts offer cost savings and reduced weight. Compared to solid shafts, they present greater manufacturing challenges and higher production costs, particularly in deep-hole machining applications.

2. Drilled Shaft
The drilled shaft is used in power transmission systems as a gear shaft, drive shaft, or motor output shaft. Its greatest advantage lies in its secure connection and dynamic balance. However, its drawbacks are also evident: the drilled holes cause stress concentration, making it prone to wear.

3. Single Milled Flat Shaft
The drilled shaft is used in power transmission systems as a gear shaft, drive shaft, or motor output shaft. Its greatest advantage lies in its secure connection and dynamic balance. However, its drawbacks are also evident: the drilled holes cause stress concentration, making it prone to wear.

4 . Double Milled Flat Shaft
Similar to single-fluted shafts, double-fluted shafts feature two parallel flutes. Their cross-section resembles a flattened circle. When installed into specific holes, they provide greater contact area, effectively preventing shaft rotation.

5. Square Shaft
Square shafts, also known as four-fluted shafts, are typically used in low-speed applications requiring high torque and rotation prevention.

6. Threaded Shaft
In previous projects, we have employed threaded shafts in screw conveyor motors, metering pumps, or extrusion heads to ensure stable material transport.

7. Stepped Shaft
The primary advantage of a stepped shaft is its ability to achieve axial positioning and fixation of components, providing a natural, reliable, and precise axial reference for parts mounted on the shaft, such as bearings, gears, and pulleys. It is widely used in applications like gearboxes, pumps, and household appliances.

8. Grooved Shaft
The primary advantage of a stepped shaft is its ability to achieve axial positioning and fixation of components, providing a natural, reliable, and precise axial reference for parts mounted on the shaft, such as bearings, gears, and pulleys. It is widely used in applications like gearboxes, pumps, and household appliances.

9. Spur Gear Shaft
Spur gear shafts deliver smooth transmission and high precision, making them particularly suitable for high-speed, heavy-load, or high-accuracy applications. They are commonly used in equipment such as mixers, gearboxes, and conveyors.
