Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly
Item Name Code (INC) 37373
 |
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.
Additional Information for Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly
Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly is a component that falls under the supply class Vehicular Power Transmission Components, which is part of the supply group Vehicular Equipment Components.
A Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly, also known as a CV shaft assembly, is a mechanical component used in vehicles to transmit power from the engine to the wheels. It is designed to maintain a constant velocity and provide smooth power transfer, even when the vehicle is turning or experiencing changes in suspension height.
The assembly consists of several key components, including a drive shaft, CV joints, and boots. The drive shaft connects the transmission or differential to the wheels, while the CV joints allow for flexibility and smooth rotation. The boots protect the CV joints from dirt, debris, and moisture.
Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assemblies are commonly used in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs. They are essential for ensuring efficient power transmission and smooth operation of the vehicle's drivetrain.
When selecting a Vehicular Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Assembly, it is important to consider factors such as vehicle make and model, power requirements, and compatibility with other drivetrain components. Regular maintenance and inspection of the assembly are also crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
