Applications:-
Testing and Assembly: In manufacturing and assembly processes, a dummy shaft can be used to test the fit and alignment of components without actually running the motor. This ensures that parts like gears, pulleys, or couplings are correctly positioned before the motor is operational.
Protection: A dummy shaft can act as a protective cover for the motor's output shaft. It prevents dust, debris, or foreign objects from entering and potentially damaging the motor or other connected components.
Safety: In certain applications, a dummy shaft may be used for safety reasons, especially when the motor is exposed and could pose a risk to operators or equipment. It provides a barrier to prevent accidental contact with the rotating output shaft.
Aesthetics: In some cases, a dummy shaft may be used for purely aesthetic purposes, creating a finished look for the motor assembly. This is common in consumer products or displays where appearance is important.
Alignment: Dummy shafts can also help maintain the alignment of components when a motor is not in use or when it is being transported or stored.
