Automotive Transmission Shafts Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Automotive Transmission Shafts Market is expected to reach USD 116724.22 million by 2031 with CAGR of 7.1 % between 2025 and 2031

Transmission shafts are rotating elements and are mostly circular in cross-section. Shafts are classified as straight, cranked, stepped and flexible. They could be either solid or hollow. Transmissions transfer the rotational speed and torque of the engine. The weight of the transmission is determined by the dimensioning of the gears and the shafts. Shafts are supported by bearings for smooth running. Shafts support transmission elements like gears, pulleys and sprockets to transmit power from one rotating member to another.  

The portion of shaft that carries pulley or gear is cut as slot (keyway) on which a key is placed. The key of rectangular cross section partially sinks in the slot and projects from the shaft. The projected part of key lies in the slot cut on the inside hub of the gear and holds the gear securely. Transmission shafts may be subjected to tensile, bending or torsional shear stresses or combinations of these. They are subjected to torque due to power transmission and bending due to reactions on the members that are supported by them.  

While designing a transmission shaft for a correct diameter, knowledge on the type of stresses involved in its application, interaction of these stresses and the material properties of shaft must be known. Further, the material of shafts must have low notch sensitivity, high strength, ability to be heat treated and case hardened to increase wear resistance of journals and good machine ability. Shafts are made from ductile materials like mild steel, carbon steels or alloy steels such as nickel, nickel-chromium or chromium-vanadium steels or ductile cast iron.
