Forged and CNC Machined Input Gear Shaft
The input gear shaft is a key component that integrates a gear and shaft into one precise unit. At Weforging, each shaft is manufactured through an integrated forging + CNC machining + testing process, achieving high strength, accuracy, and reliability. Our ISO-certified production combines advanced forging with precision machining to deliver consistent quality and smooth torque transfer. Weforging’s input gear shafts are widely used in automotive gearboxes, industrial reducers, and powertrains, providing efficient and long-lasting performance.
What Is an Input Gear Shaft
An input gear shaft serves as the initial power-transmission component in gear systems, transferring rotational energy from the motor or engine to downstream gears. Unlike conventional assemblies, it merges the gear and shaft into a single, high-strength unit, thereby improving rigidity, alignment, and torque delivery. In addition, Weforging engineers each shaft with optimized tooth geometry, accurate spline alignment, and exceptional surface integrity to achieve smooth, quiet, and efficient performance under demanding conditions.
Manufacturing Process
Weforging follows a comprehensive, step-by-step manufacturing process designed to ensure precision, consistency, and mechanical balance throughout production:
Material Selection – Premium alloy or carbon steels such as 42CrMo, 4140, and 20CrMnTi.
Closed Die Forging – Creates dense, high-strength blanks with refined grain flow for improved durability.
CNC Turning and Milling – Guarantees accurate dimensions, smooth surfaces, and precise alignment.
Gear Hobbing and Spline Cutting – Achieves perfect tooth profiles and consistent spline geometry.
Heat Treatment – Carburizing and quenching to enhance hardness, strength, and fatigue resistance.
Quality Validation – CMM measurement, hardness verification, and balance testing to confirm accuracy and performance stability.
Key Advantages
Weforging’s input gear shafts are designed for performance, strength, and reliability. Their forged construction provides outstanding structural integrity and long-term stability. Furthermore, precision CNC machining ensures smooth surfaces and accurate geometry for consistent motion. The integrated gear-and-shaft design improves rigidity, torque efficiency, and alignment accuracy. Additionally, heat treatment strengthens surface hardness and wear resistance, extending operational life. With customizable materials and dimensions, Weforging’s input gear shafts deliver dependable performance across diverse OEM and industrial applications.
