2. Swingarm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swingarm

   "Squat" occurs because the top of the final drive chain run pulls the swingarm upwards; "shaft-jacking" occurs because the shaft drive bevel gear tries to "climb up" the large bevel gear in the wheel hub, thereby pushing the swingarm downwards and away from the frame. [5] Shaft-jacking can be minimised by devices such as parallelogram swingarms.

4. Key (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(engineering)

   Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue. Set screws often accompany parallel keys to lock the mating parts into place. [3] The keyway is a longitudinal slot in both the shaft and mating part.

5. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   A tapered lock is a form of keyless shaft locking device [6] that does not require any material to be removed from the shaft. The basic idea is similar to a clamp coupling but the moment of rotation is closer to the center of the shaft. [ 7 ]

6. Center axle disconnect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_axle_disconnect

   A center axle disconnect system or CAD is an alternative to locking hubs. CAD systems are typically used in front drive axles on four wheel drive vehicles. A CAD system works by having an axle shaft (typically the longer shaft) split into two pieces. One piece is connected to the carrier, the other connected to the wheel.

7. Motorcycle suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_suspension

   Hub-center steering is characterized by a swingarm that extends from the bottom of the engine/frame to the centre of the front wheel instead of a fork. The advantages of using a hub-center steering system instead of a more conventional motorcycle fork are that hub-center steering separates the steering, braking, and suspension functions.
