Rotation & Direction
Back to Top
|
| ||
| Rotation: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Unidirectional | Constructed for rotation in one direction only; frequently used for power transmission. Unidirectional shafts are typically significantly derated for rotation in the non-design direction. | ||
| Bidirectional | May be rotated in either direction, or reversed. Performance characteristics are well balanced in both directions. Bidirectional rotation is frequently used in control or cyclic applications. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Direction (Unidirectional Only): | It is only necessary to specify direction for unidirectional shaft applications. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Clockwise | Clockwise rotation as viewed from motor or drive end of shaft. | ||
| Counterclockwise | Counterclockwise rotation as viewed from motor or drive end of shaft. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

| ||
| Maximum Speed: | Maximum rated rotational speed under load. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Torque Capacity: | Maximum continuous torque transmission for which the shaft is designed. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Diameter: | Diameter of shaft, including casing. This specification is often dependent upon speed and torque requirements; consult manufacturers' application groups for diameter optimization. | ||

| |||
| Minimum Bend Radius: | Minimum bend radius during shaft operation. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Length: | End-to-end length along the centerline of shaft. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
