Transmission shafts (including cam shafts and crank shafts) and cranks

HS v2017 Code: 848310

About transmission shafts (including cam shafts and crank shafts) and cranks

hs code 848310 covers the production and trade of transmission shafts, including camshafts and crankshafts, as well as cranks. These components are essential parts of various mechanical systems, particularly in the automotive and industrial machinery industries. They play a crucial role in the efficient transmission of power and the smooth operation of engines and other machinery, making them a vital component in the broader manufacturing and transportation sectors.

Production process

The production of transmission shafts and cranks typically involves a combination of precision machining, forging, and heat treatment processes. Manufacturers often start with raw metal stock, such as steel or alloy, which is then shaped and refined through techniques like turning, milling, and grinding to achieve the desired dimensions and surface finish. Heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering, are then applied to enhance the strength, durability, and reliability of the final components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 848310 items include high-quality steel or other metal alloys, specialized machining equipment, and advanced heat treatment facilities. Manufacturers may also rely on various tools, lubricants, and quality control systems to ensure the consistent production of reliable and high-performing transmission shafts and cranks.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of hs code 848310 are transmission shafts, camshafts, crankshafts, and related components that are used in a wide range of industries. These parts are essential for the proper functioning of 840710 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, 840810 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)), and various types of industrial machinery. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers in the 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, 842100 Machinery for the manufacture or finishing of felt or nonwovens in the piece or in shapes, including machinery for making felt hats; blocks for making hats, and 848000 Machinery; parts thereof, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter sectors.
