2. Shaft-driven bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft-driven_bicycle

   Dynamic Runabout 7 shaft-driven bicycle Drive-shaft housing. A shaft-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a drive shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. Shaft drives were introduced in the 1880s, but were mostly supplanted by chain-driven bicycles due to the gear ranges possible with sprockets and derailleurs ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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.

5. Giubo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giubo

   A driveshaft coupling. Note the split damage beginning to appear, likely due to the large axial displacement. A giubo. A giubo (/ ˈ dʒ uː b oʊ / JOO-boh; etymology: giunto Boschi, "Boschi joint"), also known as a 'flexdisc', and sometimes misspelled as guibo, is a flexible coupling used to transmit rotational torque between the drive shaft and the companion flange on mechanical devices ...

6. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

   Splines are ubiquitous in aerospace, due to the spline's higher reliability and fatigue life compared to keyed shafts. Splines are used in several places in bicycles. The crank arm to BB shaft interfaces that are splined include ISIS Drive, Truvativ GXP and Howitzer, Shimano's Octalink and many others, most of which are proprietary. Some ...

7. Swing axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

   A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension designed and patented by Edmund Rumpler in 1903 for the rear axle of rear wheel drive vehicles. This was a revolutionary invention in automotive suspension, allowing driven (powered) wheels to follow uneven road surfaces independently, thus enabling the vehicle's wheels to maintain better ...
