drive shaft

タイトルまたは説明

These are the shafts positioned cross ways from the direction of travel, which link the wheels to the dirrerential gear and are therefore part of the transmission. In the event of independent susspensions, they are fitted with joints at their ends to allow for wheel oscillation. The axle shafts transmit motion to the wheels, allowing them, where required, to turn at the different speeds in order to cover paths of differing lengths. The purpose of this is clear when one thinks what would happen if the driving wheels were rigidly connected, that is, obliged to turn at the same speed; since the internal one on a bend covers a shorter path than the external one, one of them (or both ) would skid, causing serious damamge to the life expectancy of the tyres and reducing road grip. It is as a constant velocity joint offering the solution to noise vibration and harshness is 4WD vehicles. Our company has developed quite a large number of this kind of C. V. Axles, which can enable you to have a quite and smooth voyage.
