What are the material choices for the output shaft of BWE1815-23 * 17 cycloidal pinwheel reducer
The material selection for the output shaft of BWE1815-23 * 17 cycloidal pinwheel reducer is usually as follows:45 steel: This is a commonly used medium carbon quenched and tempered structural steel with high strength and good machinability. The output shaft is treated with 45 steel quenching and tempering, with a hardness generally ranging from 187-229HBW, which can meet the requirements of general working conditions and has good comprehensive mechanical properties. The price is relatively low.

40Cr: It belongs to alloy structural steel and has high strength, hardness, and hardenability. Suitable for gearbox shafts with moderate loads, after quenching and tempering, it can achieve good comprehensive mechanical properties, which can improve the wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the output shaft to a certain extent.
20CrMnTi: It is a carburizing steel with high strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Suitable for heavy-duty and high-speed gearbox shafts, carburizing treatment can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the output shaft surface, while maintaining the toughness of the core, which can better adapt to harsh working conditions.
In addition, in some special requirements, the output shaft may also use bearing steel such as GCr15, which can be quenched to obtain high strength and good wear resistance. Alternatively, stainless steel or other materials can be used to meet the requirements of special environments such as corrosion resistance.
