Wheel shaft for Demag AC 300

The wheel shaft, part number 40025412, serves as a primary component in the transmission and load-bearing system of the Demag AC 300 crane. This shaft is responsible for transferring torque from the differential to the wheel assembly while simultaneously supporting the weight of the crane and its operational load. Often referred to as an inner hub shaft, it is positioned within the wheel assembly to facilitate movement and maintain structural stability during operation.

This component is engineered specifically for the Demag AC 300 all-terrain crane. It is designed to interface with the wheel hub, bearings, and seals to ensure proper alignment and power delivery. The shaft is a vital element for the mobility of the crane, ensuring that the drivetrain can effectively manage the mechanical stresses encountered during travel and site positioning.

In heavy machinery, wheel shafts act as the bridge between the final drive or differential and the wheels. They are subjected to significant torsional forces and bending moments. Their precise fitment within the wheel hub assembly is necessary to maintain the integrity of the drivetrain and to ensure that power is transmitted efficiently to the ground.
