Why hollow shaft can transmit more torque than solid shaft?
Can you tell me why hollow shaft can transmit more torque than solid shaft?
Sure! Hollow shafts are capable of transmitting more torque than solid shafts due to their geometry. Because most of the material is located on the outer edge of the shaft and not in the center, hollow shafts offer a greater resistance to torsion, resulting in an increased torque capacity.
