The blade shaft of a flail mower is a key element that drives the cutting knives or flails in the device. Flail mowers are widely used for mowing grass in large areas, in parks, gardens and along roads. The blade shaft is responsible for transferring the drive from the engine to the cutting knives or flails, which enables effective and even mowing of vegetation.

Construction of the blade shaft of a flail mower:

• Material: The knife shaft is most often made of high-quality steel, which ensures durability and resistance to loads and abrasion.
• Length and diameter: The length of the shaft and its diameter are adapted to the dimensions of the mower and the type of knives or flails that will be driven.
• Bearings: The knife shaft is supported by bearings that ensure smooth operation of the shaft and reduce friction.
• Pulley or Drive Belt: The blade shaft is often connected to the mower engine by a pulley or drive belt that transmits power.
• Installation of knives or beaters: There are appropriate mountings or holes on the knife shaft to which cutting knives or beaters are mounted.

Operation of the blade shaft of a flail mower:

• Drive from the engine: The mower engine drives the blade shaft via a pulley or drive belt.
• Rotation of knives or flails: The knife shaft transmits power to mounted cutting knives or flails, which rotate around their axis, cutting the grass.
• Even mowing: Thanks to the stable and even rotation of the blade shaft, the flail mower is able to effectively mow grass over large areas.
