I-half shaft yishafti ehambisa i-torque phakathi kwe-gearbox reducer kunye nevili lokuqhuba (ubukhulu becala liqinile ngaphambili, kodwa i-shaft evulekileyo kulula ukulawula ukungalingani kokujikeleza. Ngoko ke, iimoto ezininzi zisebenzisa i-shafts evulekileyo). Iziphelo zayo zangaphakathi nezangaphandle zinejoyinti yendalo yonke (U / joint) ngokulandelelanayo, edityaniswe nesixhobo sokunciphisa kunye neringi yangaphakathi ye-hub ethwele nge-spline kwijoyini yendalo yonke.
I-axle shaft isetyenziselwa ukuhambisa amandla phakathi kokwahlula kunye nevili lokuqhuba. Isiqingatha se-asi se-asi yesiqhelo esingaqhawukiyo sinokwahlulwa ibe yi-asi edadayo epheleleyo, i-3/4 edadayo kunye ne-semi dada edadayo ngokweendlela ezahlukeneyo zenkxaso kwisiphelo sangaphandle.
