Drive Shaft Market: Increasing Concern about Fuel Efficiency, Manufacturers More Focused on Developing Lightweight Driveshaft

A drive shaft or propeller shaft is a piece of an automobile which takes power from the engine and delivers to the wheels. A drive shaft has to be strong enough to absorb the torque of the engine and lightweight to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle. A drive shaft should be perfectly balanced and should spin equal to the torque coming out of the engine and the transmission for a smooth driveline performance. In the recent times most of the automobiles are front wheel drive, soothe drive shafts are between the transaxle and each front wheel. In rear wheel drive automobiles the drive shaft is between the rear axle and each rear wheels. Drive shaft has to be strong and rigid as it has to bear the immense torque produced by the engine.
