The spacecraft micro-vibration restricts the smoothness of satellite-born pointing assembles, especially for space-based laser communication, it may cause more capacity loss. A precision shafting is often the key component, connecting the satellite and the optical antenna, and transferring micro-vibration from the satellite bus to the above payload. The oscillation characteristics of the Reaction Wheel(RW) subjected to mechanical tests was implemented via pairs of liner accelerometers and acquisition system, then the micro-vibration transfer property through shafting were studied. The results showed that the RW vibration standard deviation (STD) magnified about 5 times to 30mg~50mg in time domain after the mechanical test, the FFT analysis in frequency domain showed the vibration response frequency was spurious, but the main frequency of about 430Hz and 860Hz which matched the frequency multiplication of the frequency the RW bearing balls passing the point defects in the bearing inner part. The liner acceleration and angular velocity was almost direct ratio to the RW speed, and the RW tangential vibration seemed to be more sensitive to the speed. The space used precision shafting showed perfect attenuation for a high frequency angular vibration transferring, the attenuation ratio was about 70%.
