INGCO MX218008-SP-33, Mixer- Drive Shaft Assy( MX218008-SP-33)

product details:

In an electric mixer, the MIXER- DRIVE SHAFT ASSY (assembly) is a crucial component that transfers rotational power from the motor to the attachments, like beaters or dough hooks. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its function, components, and replacement considerations:

Function:

The drive shaft assembly acts as the bridge between the motor and the attachments. Here’s how it works:

1. Motor Power: The electric motor generates torque (rotational force).
2. Power Transfer: This torque is transmitted through the drive shaft assembly to the mixer’s head.
3. Attachment Connection: The drive shaft assembly connects to the mixer attachments (beaters, dough hooks, whisks, etc.) at the head of the mixer.
4. Rotation: As the drive shaft spins, it rotates the attached mixing tools, allowing them to perform their specific functions.

Components:

The drive shaft assembly typically consists of several parts:

• Drive Shaft: A metal rod that transmits rotational power from the motor to the mixer head. It might be a solid shaft or a hollow tube depending on the design.
• Coupling: A mechanism that connects the drive shaft to the motor’s output shaft and ensures smooth power transfer. This might be a gear coupling, a belt coupling, or another type depending on the mixer model.
• Gears (Optional): Some mixers, particularly those with variable speed settings, might utilize gears within the drive shaft assembly to adjust the rotation speed reaching the attachments.
• Bushings or Bearings: These components provide support and reduce friction for the rotating drive shaft.
