What is a broken axis
< p>Broken shaft, as the name implies, the shaft is broken. Generally, the broken axle incidents in the past two years have mostly occurred in front-wheel drive vehicles. Often the car is driving, and a certain front axle is suddenly broken. If you observe the broken position, you will find that most of the drive axles on one side are broken. Since the half shaft of the front-wheel drive car is a very important part of the whole vehicle drive system, the broken shaft will make the car owner bear very high maintenance costs (a broken shaft is equivalent to a human breaking a leg), and even if it is repaired, it will be used in the future. Also more or less will make people have a little psychological shadow.
Broken axle is a very serious fault in automotive engineering, which is somewhat related to the vehicle itself. So, why did the shaft break?
Why is the shaft broken?
You need to know why the half axis is broken , First of all, we need to know what kind of working conditions the half shaft of the front-wheel drive car is in. We all know front-wheel drive. Since the engine gearbox reducer is all stuffed under the hood, the front axle of the car is actually under a lot of working pressure.
Nowadays, the vast majority of ordinary household front-wheel drive vehicles adopt the unequal length design of the front axle shafts, that is to say, the lengths of the left and right side axles are different. Why is this so? As we all know, after the engine outputs power, it needs to go through the gearbox to finally output the real power, right? In order to ensure that the two front wheels of the car can rotate freely, we need a guy called the main reducer. Well, all these things take up space, right? So naturally, when looking at the main reducer, one side of the front wheel will be closer to it, and the other side will be farther away, so we need one longer and one longer. Two half shafts shorter.
