Intermediate Shaft The intermediate shaft of a gear reducer transmits torque between stages. It operates at medium speeds and absorbs loads from gear meshing. Bearings for the intermediate shaft must ensure reliable operation under combined loads. Loads Radial forces from gear meshing Axial forces f......
