What is it? The shaft of a motor is the moving part that sticks out from the center of the motor. The shaft enables the motor to transfer rotational motion to produce motion in other parts of the system. Give me an example! In an automobile, the shaft sticking out of the back of the motor is called the driveshaft. It turns a series of gears attached to the car's axle and makes the wheels turn, creating motion. Follow the arrow in the floating motor pictured above to see exactly where the shaft lives on your model motor. |
