Hollow drive shafts are also designed to provide greater lubrication to the moving parts. This means that there is a decreased risk of internal combustion engine vehicle parts becoming worn out quickly. This also means that there is a decreased risk of the drive train components wearing out as well. When the engine is running at full throttle and/or with full pressure, there are increased wear and tear on all of the components, which includes the torsion springs.


There are many different types of hollow drive shafts available in the automotive market place. One type of drive shaft is made of steel and is referred to as a s. a. mutasher. A s. a. mutasher is a type of drive shaft with cross-belt metal alignment. When this alignment is combined with a variable spindle arrangement, the result is a flywheel. It is one of the most commonly used and most efficient designs in the world of Composites and plastics.


The other most common type of hollow composite drive shaft in an automobile is a fiber reinforced epoxy drive shaft. A fiber reinforced epoxy drive shaft is typically made of thermoplastic polymers and an epoxy resin material. Most commonly, the fiber reinforced epoxy drive shafts are used in heavy-duty truck applications, particularly in heavy-duty pickup applications.
