  2. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

    A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft (Australian English), propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft (after Girolamo Cardano) is a component for transmitting mechanical power, torque, and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drivetrain that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to ...

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

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

    This keeps drive shaft angles equal on both sides and helps prevent steering irregularities and vibration. The outer end of the intermediate shaft is supported by a bearing secured to the transaxle case and a universal joint assists with alignment. In some cases a longer drive shaft is used on one side.

  4. Torque steer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_steer

    Equal lengths of the driveshafts, in the case of no asymmetric suspension deflection due to roll or bump, keep the drive shaft angles equal. The main component of torque steer occurs when the torques in the driveshaft and the hub are summed vectorially, giving a resultant torque vector around the steering pivot axis . These torques can be ...

  5. 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.

  6. Power take-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_take-off

    A split shaft PTO is mounted to the truck's drive shaft to provide power to the PTO. Such a unit is an additional gearbox that separates the vehicle's drive shaft into two parts: The gearbox-facing shaft which will transmit the power of the engine to the split shaft PTO; The axle-facing shaft which transmit the propelling power to the axle.

  8. Drivetrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

    This excludes the engine or motor that generates the power. In marine applications, the drive shaft will drive a propeller, thruster, or waterjet rather than a drive axle, while the actual engine might be similar to an automotive engine. Other machinery, equipment and vehicles may also use a drivetrain to deliver power from the engine(s) to the ...
