ANALYSIS OF MANUFACTURING METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR MULTI-FACETED SHAFTS

This article analyzes the widespread application of cylindrical components and shafts with multi-faceted externalsurfaces in mechanical engineering, instrument making, robotics, agriculture, mining, and other industrial sectors. Thestructural and operational advantages of multi-faceted shafts, particularly those with square, hexagonal, and other regularpolygonal cross-sections, are examined. Practical examples of the use of such shafts for torque transmission in variousindustries are presented, and their advantages over splined and pinned connections are substantiated.
