2. Torque tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_tube

   The discontinued torque-tube drive was replaced by a new design utilizing an open driveshaft and a four-link axle-location system. [ 16 ] The 1961 Pontiac Tempest was introduced as a new model, featuring an inline 4 coupled to a transaxle via a torque tube, giving it a perfect 50-50 front-rear weight balance.

   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 ...

4. 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.

5. List of screw drives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

   A security Torx screw drive is a common modification to socket and cruciform style drives to make the fastener more tamper resistant by inserting a pin in the center of the female socket, requiring a tool with a corresponding hole to drive the fastener. This can also prevent attempts at turning the screw with a small flat-bladed screwdriver.

6. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

   Early front-wheel drive vehicles (such as the 1930s Citroen Traction Avant) and the front axles of off-road four-wheel drive vehicles used universal joints rather than CV joints. Amongst the first cars to use CV joints were the 1926 Tracta , the 1931 DKW F1 and the 1932 Adler Trumpf , all of which were front-wheel drive and used the Tracta ...

7. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   A drive shaft system weighs more than a chain system, usually 0.5–1 kg (1–2 lb) heavier. Many of the advantages claimed by drive shaft's proponents can be achieved on a chain-driven bicycle, such as covering the chain and sprockets. Use of lightweight derailleur gears with a high number of ratios is impossible, although hub gears can be used.
