Acetylene generation shaft
Thread Content
The stirring shafts of our company’s acetylene generators have been breaking frequently recently; the original material used was 45#. I would like to ask experts if there are any other materials that could be recommended? Or the manufacturer? Note: The shaft diameter is 100 mm, and the length is about 5 meters. Need to be wear-resistant
A broken shaft is likely not due to a material issue; it may be caused by an overly low safety factor for the shaft chosen during selection, or by excessive swinging.
Did it break before? Or a recent fracture? If there were no problems before, then it’s not an issue with the shaft material. The shaft in my device has been in use for ten years; it hasn’t broken. It was only the handle that became loose, which caused wear on the shaft, and that’s why it had to be replaced!
