 CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINTS |
The operating principles of constant velocity joints differ considerably from Cardan shafts. Constant velocity joints allow a rotating shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction play.
Constant velocity joints are divided into two categories:
- solid constant velocity joints
- flexible constant velocity joints

Constant velocity joints provide a virtually flicker-free running regardless of joint angles. |
