  2. Layshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layshaft

    Sectioned 3-speed manual 'crash' gearbox, for a car c. 1935. A layshaft is an intermediate shaft within a gearbox that carries gears, but does not transfer the primary drive of the gearbox either in or out of the gearbox. [1] [2] Layshafts are best known through their use in car gearboxes, where they were a ubiquitous part of the rear-wheel ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_tube

    The torque tube consists of a large diameter stationary housing between the transmission and rear end that fully encloses a rotating tubular steel or small-diameter solid drive shaft (known colloquially in the U.S. as a "rope drive" [1]) that transmits the power of the engine to a regular or limited-slip differential. [2]

  7. Hypoid gearboxes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoid_gearboxes

    Hypoid gear sets have long been used in the differential of rear-wheel drive cars, trucks and robotic arms.The scope of misalignment between the centers of the two interlinking shafts permits utilization of larger sized gears which enhances the contact surface area and reduces the wear and tear on the gear hence extending the life and power transmission capabilities of the gearboxes.
