As a precision mechanical part, the wear resistance and fatigue life of the output shaft are key indicators for evaluating its performance during long-term operation. Wear resistance determines the durability of the output shaft when subjected to friction and wear, while fatigue life reflects its service life under repeated stress.To evaluate the wear resistance of the output shaft, a wear resistance test is usually required. This test can simulate the friction conditions of the output shaft in actual work and evaluate the wear resistance by measuring its mass loss, volume loss or surface morphology changes. During the test, it should be ensured that the test conditions are as consistent as possible with the actual working environment to obtain accurate evaluation results.For the evaluation of fatigue life, it is more complicated. Fatigue failure is one of the main causes of failure of mechanical parts. It is sudden and easy to cause major accidents. Therefore, it is very important to accurately evaluate the fatigue life of the output shaft. Commonly used fatigue test methods include rotation bending fatigue test, axial tension and compression fatigue test, etc. These methods evaluate the fatigue performance of the output shaft by simulating the alternating stress of the output shaft under actual working conditions. During the test, stress level, frequency, waveform, temperature and other test conditions must be strictly controlled to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.In addition to wear resistance testing and fatigue testing, computer-aided engineering methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) can also be combined to predict the wear resistance and fatigue life of the output shaft. These methods can analyze the stress distribution, strain, etc. of the output shaft in detail, so as to more accurately evaluate its performance.In summary, the evaluation of the wear resistance and fatigue life of the output shaft under long-term operation is a complex and important process. Through the comprehensive application of wear resistance testing, fatigue testing and computer-aided engineering methods, the performance of the output shaft can be comprehensively and accurately evaluated, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the mechanical system.
