Three-part propeller shaft assembly incorporating two hooke joints having the same phases flanking constant velocity joint, and third hooke joint adjacent to one thereof and having 90 degree opposed phase
Three-part propeller shaft assembly incorporating two hooke joints having the same phases flanking constant velocity joint, and third hooke joint adjacent to one thereof and having 90 degree opposed phase
A vehicle has an engine and a driven differential. This three part type propeller shaft assembly includes a first propeller shaft element, a second propeller shaft element, and a third propeller shaft element. A first joint, which is a Hooke joint, rotationally couples the to a one end of the first propeller shaft element. A second joint rotationally couples the other end of the first propeller shaft element to a one end of the second propeller shaft element. A third joint rotationally couples the other end of the second propeller shaft element to a one end of the third propeller shaft element. And a fourth joint, which is a Hooke joint, rotationally couples the other end of the third propeller shaft element to the driven differential. Two bearing supports, one disposed near each end of the second propeller shaft element, rotatably support it from the vehicle body. One of the second joint and the third joint is a Hooke joint, and the other is a constant velocity type joint. The phase of the two Hooke joints which flank the constant velocity type joint on either side is set to be the same, while the phase of the other Hooke joint is set to differ by 90° from that common phase.
