Hi Welcome to The Dart online store
Shaft 3200280 (HRC Parts) — Usage Details
What it is: A shaft (metal rod) component used inside machinery — likely in a pump, motor, or rotary part.
Where it’s used:
• Inside pressure washers / car washers
• In motors, gearboxes, or pump heads
• Anywhere rotational power / torque is transmitted
Function:
• Transfers rotational motion from one part (motor, drive) to another (pump, impeller etc.)
• Supports bearings, seals, and allows connected moving parts to rotate smoothly
• Maintains alignment of moving parts
When to replace / signs of wear:
• Shaft is bent or misaligned
• Surface is worn, grooved or rusted so seals or bearings leak
• Too much play (wobble) in the part connected to shaft
Important checks when replacing:
• Diameter, length, and spline or key-slot if any — must match original
• Material hardness (should be strong enough)
• Surface finish — smooth where it contacts seals or bearings
