2. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

   A Rzeppa-type CV joint. A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling which allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts, within a certain range, to maintain the same velocity.

3. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mechanical)

   A spline is a ridge or tooth [1] [2] [3] on a drive shaft that matches with a groove in a mating piece and transfers torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.

4. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   In a solid, "live-axle" suspension system, the rotating inner axle cores (or half-shafts) serve to transmit driving torque to the wheels at each end, while the rigid outer tube maintains the position of the wheels at fixed angles relative to the axle, and controls the angle of the axle and wheels assembly to the vehicle body. The solid axles ...

5. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   Torque is transmitted between the two coupling shaft hubs through the metallic grid spring element. Like metallic gear and disc couplings, grid couplings have a high torque density. A benefit of grid couplings, over either gear or disc couplings, is the ability their grid coupling spring elements have to absorb and spread peak load impact ...

6. Friction torque - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_torque

   Ball bearings are an example of an attempt to minimize the friction torque. [2] Friction torque can also be an asset in engineering. Bolts and nuts, or screws are often designed to be fastened with a given amount of torque, where the friction is adequate during use or operation for the bolt, nut, or screw to remain safely fastened.

7. Locking differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_differential

   A locking differential is a mechanical component, commonly used in vehicles, designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially "locking" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel ...
