A Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly (DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY,CONSTANT VELOCITY,VEHICULAR) is an item designed to permit a greater degree of angle between two sections of a drive shaft, while transmitting rotary motion from the engine/transaxle assembly to the wheel hubs. The angle is split between the two joints working in a counterbalancing phase with input speed and output speed being identical. Includes items such as outboard and inboard joints, housing, protective bellows, shafts, mounting hardware and the like. The outboard universal joints turns with the wheel around a fixed center, while the inboard joint telescopes and turns at an angle sufficient to allow the required movement of the vehicle's suspension system. Excludes SHAFT, AXLE, AUTOMOTIVE; UNIVERSAL JOINT; UNIVERSAL JOINT, GEARED and PROPELLER SHAFT.

What is an Automotive Axle Assembly Housing?

An Automotive Axle Assembly Housing (HOUSING,AXLE ASSEMBLY,AUTOMOTIVE) is a housing which mostly consists of several sections and which forms a portion of an AXLE ASSEMBLY, AUTOMOTIVE, DRIVING, accommodates its components and keeps them in position.

What is a Vehicular Hydraulic Transmission?

A Vehicular Hydraulic Transmission (TRANSMISSION,HYDRAULIC,VEHICULAR) is a device used on vehicular power transmission components to increase torque and/or change ratios between the drive and driven shaft or shafts by the medium of liquid under pressure within the unit. It may include a manual means for reversing rotation and changing speed ranges. Excludes TRANSMISSION, CROSS-DRIVE; and transmissions with controlled differentials.

What is a Vehicular Universal Joint Companion Flange?

A Vehicular Universal Joint Companion Flange (FLANGE,COMPANION,VEHICULAR UNIVERSAL JOINT) is an item designed for vehicular applications having a flange on one end with provisions for a shaft on the other end. Designed to mate with the flange of a YOKE, UNIVERSAL JOINT, VEHICULAR for the purpose of transmitting rotary motion.

What is a Vehicular Universal Joint?

A Vehicular Universal Joint (UNIVERSAL JOINT,VEHICULAR) is a flexible connection designed for vehicular applications which permits rotary motion to be transmitted between two shafts located at an angle to each other. The angle between the shafts may be continually varied within certain limits; the connecting ends must have either a flange, hub, or splined stub shaft; the plain portion of a splined stub shaft must not exceed the length of the splines. Excludes drive or propeller shafts with joint(s) at one or both ends. See UNIVERSAL JOINT,GEARED.

What is a Vehicular Propeller Shaft?

A Vehicular Propeller Shaft (PROPELLER SHAFT,VEHICULAR) is a vehicular item with a yoke on one or both ends. The yoke(s) may include a spider. If only one yoke, the opposite end may have a shaft or tube. For items with a universal joint see PROPELLER SHAFT WITH UNIVERSAL JOINT (as modified). Also see YOKE, UNIVERSAL JOINT (as modified). For rotary wing aircraft, see PROPELLER SHAFT, ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.

What is a Vehicular Propeller Shaft With Universal Joint?

A Vehicular Propeller Shaft With Universal Joint (PROPELLER SHAFT WITH UNIVERSAL JOINT,VEHICULAR) is a vehicular item with a universal joint on one or both ends. For items with one universal joint, the opposite end may have a yoke, a yoke with a spider, or a shaft. For items without a universal joint see PROPELLER SHAFT (as modified).

What is a Vehicular Universal Joint Yoke?

A Vehicular Universal Joint Yoke (YOKE,UNIVERSAL JOINT,VEHICULAR) is a component of a universal joint designed for vehicular applications. Consists of a fork-like device to accommodate the spider and bearings of a universal joint by various attaching methods. The opposite end must have either a flange, hub, or splined stub shaft which is designed to be attached to a driving or driven member. For items with a shaft, the length of the plain portion must not exceed the length of the splines.

NATO Supply Class 2520 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 25, which is dedicated to Vehicular Equipment Components. Specifically, Class 2520 focuses on Vehicular Power Transmission Components.

Vehicular Power Transmission Components refer to the various parts and systems that are responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the wheels of a vehicle. These components play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and movement of the vehicle.

Some examples of Vehicular Power Transmission Components that fall under NATO Supply Class 2520 include:

1. Transmissions: These are mechanical devices that transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to change gears and transfer torque.

2. Transfer Cases: Transfer cases are used in four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles to distribute power between the front and rear wheels. They allow for smooth transitions between different driving modes.

3. Axles: Axles are shafts that connect the wheels to the vehicle's transmission or differential. They transmit power from the transmission to the wheels, allowing for rotation and movement.

4. Drive Shafts: Drive shafts are responsible for transmitting torque from the transmission to the wheels. They connect the transmission to the axles and allow for power transfer.

5. Differentials: Differentials are gear mechanisms that allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds while still receiving power from the transmission. They are essential for smooth turning and maneuvering of the vehicle.

These are just a few examples of the Vehicular Power Transmission Components that fall under NATO Supply Class 2520. The classification helps in organizing and categorizing these components for procurement and supply chain purposes within NATO.
