1) Drive-shafts are used on FWD but Prop-Shafts are used on RWD or 4WD. 2)A Drive-Shaft has final drive via a CV joint but a Prop-Shaft has final drive via a Differential. 3)A Drive-Shaft is smaller, lighter and saves space by not having a transmition tunnel.
Unbolt the prop shaft.
It allows a reduction in transmission tunnel height.The critical speed of the total prop shaft arrangement is higher without increasing the diameter (reducing shaft whip).
The weight of a prop shaft can vary depending on its size, material, and design. On average, a prop shaft for a typical car or boat can weigh between 5 to 20 pounds. It is important to consult the specific manufacturer or product specifications for accurate weight information.
This would depend greatly on your prop shaft... Water craft, Airplane... Car? But two test that should apply to all categories might be: vibration and fatigue.
Drive shaft couplings and prop shaft couplings serve similar functions in connecting rotating shafts, but they are not necessarily the same. Drive shaft couplings are typically used in various applications, including vehicles and machinery, to transmit torque and accommodate misalignment. Prop shaft couplings, on the other hand, are specifically designed for marine applications, connecting the engine's power output to the propeller shaft. While they both facilitate power transfer, their design and applications differ based on the environment and requirements.

the purpose of the hair shaft is to protect and moisturize the scalp.
To remove the prop shaft from a Polaris Sportsman 500 for U-joint replacement, start by lifting the ATV and securing it on jack stands. Then, remove the bolts securing the prop shaft to the front and rear differentials, using a socket wrench. After disconnecting the shaft, you may need to slide it out of the splined connection at the front or rear. Once free, you can access and replace the U-joints.
This depends entirely on what make model and year the machine is as well as why it is being driven. It is not safe to use it as a loader with the prop shaft missing, but it might be if it is just being moved.

the purpose of drive shaft is to assist in the generation of electric power in the wind mill
