The most common shape for shafts is circular and the cross section can be either solid or hollow (hollow shafts can result in weight savings )
Rectangular shafts are sometimes used ,as in screwdriver blades,socket wrenches and control knob stems
A shaft must have adequate torsional strength to transmit torque and not be overstressed
It also be torsionally stiff enough so that one mounted component does not deviate excessively from its original angular position relative to a second component mounted on the same shaft
Generally speaking ,the angle of twist should not exceed one degree in a shaft length equal to 20 diameters
Shafts are mounted inbearings
