Quality Control & Testing System

 

 

To ensure consistent quality and performance stability, every drive shaft undergoes multi-stage inspection and validation.

 

  • Material Spectroscopy Analysis – verifies chemical composition of steel batches
  • Induction Heat Treatment – controlled hardness depth for splines and yokes
  • Automated Welding Process – ensures structural consistency and repeatability
  • 100% Dynamic Balancing Test – all shafts tested under operating RPM conditions
  • Runout Measurement – shaft straightness controlled within 0.05mm tolerance

 

All balancing tests are performed in accordance with ISO 1940 standards (G6.3 / G16 grades).
