Product Description
Zinc Universal Joint
Constant-velocity (CV) joints allow the drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at a constant rotational speed, without a considerable increase in friction. The CV joints are also responsible for a smooth transfer of engine power regardless of the turning angle of the steering wheel. The constant-velocity joints are mainly used in front-wheel and all-wheel drive cars. Rear-wheel drive cars with independent rear suspensions typically use CV joints at the ends of the rear-axle half-shafts. Constant -velocity joints are protected by a rubber boot known as the CV gaiter. Each CV joint includes an inner and outer joint.
Early front-wheel drive systems used axles, similar to that of the four-wheel drive vehicles, where a cross-shaped metal pivot was fitted between two forked carriers. These were not CV joints as, except for specific configurations, they resulted in a variation of the transmitted speed. They were simple to make and tremendously strong, and are still used to provide a flexible coupling in some propshafts in which there is not much movement.
