![]() ![]() Professional drivetrain people doing what they love, making parts. Not only can we make the best shaft for the car, but if there is a problem we will stay with it until the end. I know the story is kind of corny but we have been around for years and hear stories like this over and over. on the front of the shaft (which can be made for just about any car). Due to the 700R sitting so high in the tunnel he can’t get it higher to correct the angle. What was missed was the front and rear angle which has no more than four degrees of operation. Knuclebuster checks the pinion angle and tells him it’s correct. Guess what, it more than likely is! A friend of Mr. He has brought the shaft back to the shop he purchased it from several times only to be told the shaft is balanced. ![]() John Knuclebuster has installed a 350/750R in his 47 Chevy and has a vibration when stepping on the gas. Where we differ from most companies is that we have an understanding of the entire car. ![]() These shafts can be made in any style or arrangement. We manufacture driveshafts from simple Carbon Steel, Chromoly and finish up the lineup with 6061-T6 Aluminum. Street rods are not foreign to us here at the shop, everyone in the building is into some sort of car. We feel at a higher level of competition cars we need to talk to you and give you a personal assessment of the car to assure its proper part. But before any shaft is made we carefully make sure the shaft is designed to spec before we manufacture it. All of our carbon steel and Chromoly shafts are welded to our demanding specs using our unique slow feed lathe mounted welders using a special powdered core wire that has a higher tensile strength than conventional welding.Įvery shaft is balanced on our state-of-the-art computerized two-plane balancers and weights are attached with our special rivet-type mounts. We manufacture driveshafts in standard carbon steel, Chromoly, Carbon fiber, or 6061-T6 aluminum. With today’s higher HP/Torque motors, higher RPM drive trains, and sophisticated suspensions you need to know what you’re doing to make a shaft today. Technology has changed and so has The Driveshaft Shop. Just use a truck tube and some good joints and you have a race shaft. We understand cars and the unique challenges involved in making a racing shaft today. National Speedway was the place to go, and those were simpler times. Drag racers stopped by on a regular basis (and they’re still here). Being involved in the racing industry since the early ’70s, we remember the days on Long Island when Motion Performance was a local shop. At The Driveshaft Shop, we grow and learn every day. Either you get old with the rest of the pack or you grow and learn on a constant basis. When a company has been around for 30+ years things are into a certain perspective. This machine was custom-made for us and high-speed balancing is offered as a separate service, only from The Drive Shaft Shop. Most driveshaft balancers only spin from 400-3000 RPM (most average about 1000 RPM). With this new machine, we can spin a 17lb shaft to actual speeds of over 9000 RPM. Such as u-joint tolerance, tube flex, harmonic resonance, slip yoke instability, and more. Another major advantage is that a high-speed balancer will also be able to analyze parameters that the slow-speed machine cannot. That being said, when the shaft is being spun at the actual speed that it will be running at, it presents more information to assimilate and therefore gives the ability to accurately correct it. But not all driveshaft applications are the same and depending on what the drive shaft is going to be used for, some will need to have a more detailed approach to balancing. Then goes on to indicate what amount of weight is needed to bring it within a certain tolerance. This means that when the shaft is spinning, the machine is seeing how far out of the center the weight is. Instead of actual shaft speed, they rely on sensors that detect the “weight centerline” of the part being spun. ![]() “How fast is the driveshaft balanced for?” Most balancing machines are very efficient in doing the job that they are designed for, as long as they are calibrated and working properly. Over the years we have been faced with the question that almost every balancing machine available raises. The Drive Shaft shop is proud to now offer a high-speed balancing service. ![]()
