Vehicular Propeller Shaft With Universal Joint

A Vehicular Propeller Shaft with Universal Joint is a component of the power transmission system in a vehicle. It is part of the Vehicular Power Transmission Components supply class, which falls under the Vehicular Equipment Components supply group.

The propeller shaft, also known as a drive shaft, is responsible for transmitting torque from the vehicle's transmission to the differential, which then transfers power to the wheels. It is typically a long, cylindrical shaft made of steel or aluminum.

The universal joint, also called a U-joint, is a mechanical joint that allows for the transmission of torque at varying angles. It is used in the propeller shaft to accommodate the movement of the suspension and differential as the vehicle travels over uneven terrain.

Together, the propeller shaft and universal joint ensure the efficient transfer of power from the engine to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to move forward or backward. They are essential components of the power transmission system in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and other motorized vehicles.
