Product Description

Common faults of the automobile CV JOINTS/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT:
1. Abnormal noise
When turning left and right, there is a “click” sound of metal knocking on 1 side of the wheel. The noise disappears when driving in a straight line. This is a typical failure phenomenon of the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT.
2. Stuck
When the vehicle is running at high speed, the wheels resonate. It belongs to the lack of lubrication inside the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT, and the vibration caused by wear and tear during operation.
3. Fracture
After the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT is worn to a certain extent, the internal bracket is broken, and the transmission function will be lost, so that the vehicle cannot move after the gear is loose and the clutch is released.

The composition of the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT universal joint:
The composition of the CV JOINT /CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT: 1. Star sleeve (inner raceway); 2. Spherical shell (outer raceway); 3. Steel ball; 4. Clamp; 5.rubber Boot; 6. bracket. CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT constant velocity universal joints can be divided into axially non-telescopic (fixed) CV JOINT universal joints and telescopic CV JOINTS universal joints according to whether the axial direction of the CV JOINT universal joint can move.
Structurally, the internal splines on the inner surface of the star sleeve of the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT universal joint are connected with the transmission shaft. Its outer surface has 6 arc grooves as the inner raceway of the steel ball, and the outer raceway as the inner surface of the spherical shell. Each of the 6 raceways assembled by the star sleeve and the spherical shell is equipped with a steel ball, and the 6 steel balls are kept on the same level by the cage (CV JOINT). The power is transmitted from the transmission shaft through the steel ball and the spherical shell.
The structural feature of the telescopic CV JOINT universal joint is that the inner wall of the cylindrical shell and the outer surface of the star sleeve adopt cylindrical straight grooves, and the raceway produced by the combination of the 2 adopts steel balls. At the same time, steel balls are also installed in the holes of the CV JOINT/CARDAN SHAFT/AXLE SHAFT/HALF SHAFT. The inner hole of the star sleeve is connected with the input shaft by a spline. This configuration allows movement of the star sleeve in an axial direction corresponding to that of a simple housing.

– Cardan shafts are designed to compensate for misalignment between the driving and driven components. The universal joints, along with slip yokes and telescopic sections, allow the shaft to adjust its length and accommodate variations in alignment. This misalignment compensation capability ensures that the cardan shaft can transmit power smoothly and efficiently, reducing stress on the components and maintaining balance during operation.

3. Balanced Design:

– Cardan shafts are engineered with a balanced design to minimize vibration and maintain smooth operation. The shaft tubes are typically symmetrically constructed, and the universal joints are positioned to distribute the mass evenly. This balanced design helps to reduce vibration and minimize the occurrence of unbalanced forces that can negatively impact power transfer and overall system performance. By maintaining balance, cardan shafts contribute to efficient power transmission and improve the lifespan of the components involved.

4. High-Quality Materials and Manufacturing:

– The materials used in the construction of cardan shafts, such as steel or aluminum alloy, are carefully selected for their strength, durability, and ability to maintain balance. High-quality materials ensure that the shafts can withstand the torque and operational stresses without deformation or failure, promoting efficient power transfer. Additionally, precise manufacturing processes and quality control measures are employed to ensure that the cardan shafts are accurately balanced during production, further enhancing their efficiency and balance.

5. Regular Maintenance and Inspection:

– To ensure continued efficient power transfer and balance, regular maintenance and inspection of cardan shafts are essential. This includes periodic lubrication of the universal joints, checking for wear or damage, and addressing any misalignment issues. Regular maintenance helps to preserve the balance of the shaft and ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Overall, cardan shafts ensure efficient power transfer while maintaining balance through the use of universal joints for torque transmission, misalignment compensation mechanisms, balanced design, high-quality materials, and regular maintenance. By incorporating these features, cardan shafts contribute to the smooth operation, reliability, and longevity of various applications in automotive, industrial, and other sectors that rely on efficient power transmission.

2. Training and Familiarity:

– Ensure that personnel working with cardan shafts are adequately trained and familiar with the equipment and procedures involved. They should understand the potential hazards, safe operating practices, and emergency procedures.

3. Lockout/Tagout Procedures:

– Before working on cardan shafts, follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to isolate and de-energize the equipment. This prevents accidental activation or movement of the shaft while maintenance or repair activities are being performed.

4. Secure the Equipment:

– Before starting any work on the cardan shaft, ensure that the equipment or vehicle is securely supported and immobilized. This prevents unexpected movement or rotation of the shaft, reducing the risk of entanglement or injury.

5. Ventilation:

– If working in enclosed spaces or areas with poor ventilation, ensure adequate ventilation or use appropriate respiratory protective equipment to avoid inhalation of harmful fumes, gases, or dust particles.

6. Proper Lifting Techniques:

– When handling heavy cardan shafts or components, use proper lifting techniques to avoid strains or injuries. Employ lifting equipment, such as cranes or hoists, where necessary, and ensure the load capacity is not exceeded.

7. Inspection and Maintenance:

What is a cardan shaft and how does it function in vehicles and machinery?

A cardan shaft, also known as a propeller shaft or drive shaft, is a mechanical component used in vehicles and machinery to transmit torque and rotational power between two points that are not in line with each other. It consists of a tubular shaft with universal joints at each end, allowing for flexibility and accommodating misalignment between the driving and driven components. The cardan shaft plays a crucial role in transferring power from the engine or power source to the wheels or driven machinery. Here’s how it functions in vehicles and machinery:

1. Torque Transmission:

– In vehicles, the cardan shaft connects the transmission or gearbox to the differential, which then distributes torque to the wheels. When the engine generates rotational power, it is transmitted through the transmission to the cardan shaft. The universal joints at each end of the shaft allow for angular misalignment and compensate for variations in the suspension, axle movement, and road conditions. As the cardan shaft rotates, it transfers torque from the transmission to the differential, enabling power delivery to the wheels.

– In machinery, the cardan shaft serves a similar purpose of transmitting torque between the power source and driven components. For example, in agricultural equipment, the cardan shaft connects the tractor’s PTO (Power Take-Off) to various implements such as mowers, balers, or tillers. The rotational power from the tractor’s engine is transferred through the PTO driveline to the cardan shaft, which then transmits the torque to the driven machinery, enabling their operation.

2. Flexibility and Compensation:

– The cardan shaft’s design with universal joints provides flexibility and compensates for misalignment between the driving and driven components. The universal joints allow the shaft to bend and articulate while maintaining a continuous torque transmission. This flexibility is essential in vehicles and machinery where the driving and driven components may be at different angles or positions due to suspension movement, axle articulation, or uneven terrain. The cardan shaft absorbs these variations and ensures smooth power delivery without causing excessive stress or vibration.

3. Balancing and Vibration Control:

– Cardan shafts also contribute to balancing and vibration control in vehicles and machinery. The rotation of the shaft generates centrifugal forces, and any imbalance can result in vibration and reduced performance. To counterbalance this, cardan shafts are carefully designed and balanced to minimize vibration and provide smooth operation. Additionally, the universal joints help in absorbing minor vibrations and reducing their transmission to the vehicle or machinery.

4. Length Adjustment:

– Cardan shafts offer the advantage of adjustable length, allowing for variations in the distance between the driving and driven components. This adjustability is particularly useful in vehicles and machinery with adjustable wheelbases or variable attachment points. By adjusting the length of the cardan shaft, the driveline can be appropriately sized and positioned to accommodate different configurations, ensuring optimal power transmission efficiency.

5. Safety Features:

– Cardan shafts in vehicles and machinery often incorporate safety features to protect against mechanical failures. These may include shielding or guards to prevent contact with rotating components, such as the driveshaft or universal joints. In the event of a joint failure or excessive force, some cardan shafts may also incorporate shear pins or torque limiters to prevent damage to the driveline and protect other components from excessive loads.

In summary, a cardan shaft is a tubular component with universal joints at each end used to transmit torque and rotational power between non-aligned driving and driven components. It provides flexibility, compensates for misalignment, and enables torque transmission in vehicles and machinery. By efficiently transferring power, accommodating variations, and balancing vibrations, cardan shafts play a critical role in ensuring smooth and reliable operation in a wide range of applications.
