The end play shaft refers to the axial movement allowed in a shaft within a mechanical assembly, such as in a motor or gearbox. It is the distance the shaft can move back and forth along its axis without causing mechanical interference or damage. Proper end play is crucial to ensure smooth operation and to maintain the alignment of components, preventing wear or failure. Adjustments to end play can be made using shims or other methods to achieve the desired clearance.
