MAN 64393827129 Propeller Shaft

Description

The MAN propeller shaft is a critical component of a vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for transmitting power from the transmission to the axles, enabling the wheels to turn and propel the vehicle forward. This shaft is commonly used in heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Manufactured in Germany, this MAN propeller shaft (MPN: 64393827129) boasts exceptional durability and a precision-engineered design for reliable performance under demanding conditions. Its robust construction minimizes vibration and ensures smooth power delivery, contributing to increased efficiency and a longer service life. Dimensions are 155 x 155 x 1840 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

It basically takes the power from your transmission – where the gears are – and sends it back to the rear wheels, or in some cases, to the front wheels if you have a front – wheel drive vehicle with a transfer case. It's a rotating shaft with universal joints at each end, allowing it to work even when the angles change as your suspension moves up and down, or when turning. It’s a pretty simple concept, but it needs to be strong and balanced. Think of it as the link in the chain between your engine’s power and the wheels actually moving the vehicle. Without it, you’d have an engine that’s running but no power getting to the driving wheels. It works alongside your differential, which splits the power and lets the wheels turn at different speeds when you go around corners. It’s part of the whole drivetrain system, working with everything from the engine to the tires.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this thing fails, you’re not going anywhere. A failing prop shaft can cause vibrations, noises – usually a clunking or humming – and eventually total loss of power to the wheels. A worn U – joint can cause vibrations that’ll shake the whole vehicle. A damaged shaft itself can cause imbalance and catastrophic failure. It really acts like a shield, protecting the rest of your drivetrain from damage. You’ll notice if something is going wrong; it's usually pretty obvious.
