Excenter shafts
In the case of excenter shafts, the center point of the control disk is not on the shaft axis. This means, for example, that a rotary motion can be transformed into linear motion and vice versa and/or with amplified force. Such shafts are often used in machines for cutting and pressing sheet metal or synthetic materials, or in variable valve drives.
