Fungsi

Power transmitting drive shaft utilising minimum space requirements connects driving shaft to driven shaft at an angle through smooth mechanism of universal joint. Normally a set of 2 universal joints is installed into a shaft. On assembly, it is important to position at①same working angle, ②same plane and ③same phase in order to realize constant velocity.Basic rule of shaft assembly, constant velocity


  • ①same working angle ; A = B
  • ②same plane ; driving shaft = center chaft = driven shaft at same plane

Basic rule of shaft assembly,  constant velocity


③Yoke openings (forks) in driving shaft and driven shaft shall face square on straight line
Basic rule of shaft assembly,  constant velocity
