sisendvõll

Sisendvõll, often translated as input shaft, is a fundamental component in many mechanical systems. Its primary function is to receive rotational energy from a driving source and transmit it to another part of the machinery. This driving source can be an engine, an electric motor, or any other mechanism capable of producing torque.

The input shaft is typically a cylindrical rod made of a strong material like steel to withstand the stresses of rotational motion and power transmission. It is usually equipped with features such as splines, gears, or a keyed end that allow it to connect securely to the driving component and the driven component. These connection features ensure that torque is transferred efficiently without slipping.

In transmissions, the input shaft receives power from the engine and delivers it to the gear sets. In gearboxes, it connects to the clutch or torque converter. In pumps and other rotating machinery, it might directly couple to the prime mover. The design and dimensions of the input shaft are critical and depend on the amount of torque it needs to transmit, the speed of rotation, and the operating environment. Proper lubrication and bearing support are essential for the smooth and long-lasting operation of an input shaft.
