2. 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.

3. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   On cars and trucks, several senses of the word axle occur in casual usage, referring to the shaft itself, its housing, or simply any transverse pair of wheels. Strictly speaking, a shaft that rotates with the wheel, being either bolted or splined in fixed relation to it, is called an axle or axle shaft.

4. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

   A Rzeppa-type (Birfield) 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.

5. Front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-engine,_front-wheel...

   This caters for changes in shaft length and horizontal angle. The drive is transferred through the trunion and balls to rotate the shaft. The outer universal joint allows greater angular changes but not changes in shaft length. It is normally a ball and cage type with an inner race splined to the intermediate shaft. An outer race is formed in ...

6. Hirth joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirth_joint

   Hirth joint made from anodized aluminum to show the meshing of the teeth Hirth joint (disassembled) between the semi-axles of a Campagnolo Ultra-Torque crankset. Face spline joints consist of a ring of radial splines or teeth milled or ground into the end faces of two rotary components such as a drive shaft and the hub of a wheel.

7. Sterling 10.5 axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_10.5_axle

   35 Spline axle shafts with a 1.5 in (38 mm) diameter; Ratios 3.08 to 4.30. Current production ratios offered are 3.31, 3.55, 3.73, and 4.30. Since ca. 2005, the gears are formed by the face hob process, formerly face milled process.
