    Common turbocharger failures like overspeeding can cause fatigue to the shaft and wheel over time. Melett developed a full back shaft and wheel to strengthen the turbine wheel and reduce the risk of fatigue on the inducer diameter compared to traditional open back designs with slender or straight shafts. The improved design has a larger radius on the shaft and a full back to decrease stress and flexing beyond design limits that can lead to blade loss or other fatigue failures.

    Development Common turbo failures such as overspeeding can cause severe fatigue to the shaft and wheel. Signs of fatigue
    introduction include partial loss of blades caused by the constant flexing of blades beyond the designed parameters.
    Fatigue is a mode of failure not the cause.
    Traditionally, a shaft and wheel has an open back with a slender or straight shaft. To strengthen the turbine
    wheel, Melett has developed a full back shaft and wheel solution that reduces the risk of fatigue on the inducer
    diameter.
