Sliding Type

Features

Expansion is possible within CVJ

The ball tracks on the outer race are parallel with the axis.Therefore, relative axial expansion between the inner ring and outer ring is possible while transmitting power and providing an operating angle

Low sliding friction ensures smooth expansion
Expansion within the CVJ is achieved by a rolling motion ofthe balls, which contributes to very small sliding friction(expansion-induced friction). As a resul, the joint assembly can smoothly plunge even when torque is applied.The sliding friction of this arrangement is greatly reduced ascompared with generic slide spline shaft.

Axial vibration can be absorbed
Because of the smaller sliding friction, axial vibration can beeasily absorbed as compared with the slide spline arrangement.
No slide splines are needed for the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft does not need slide splines since theaxial expansion and installation mounting distance adjustment are achieved by the structure inside the CVJs.

Easy installation
Both axial expansion and operating angle definition (20°forsmaller size,8° to 10°for larger size) can be achieved simultaneously. Therefore, this type of joint can accommodate alarger length variation, allowing easy installation.

Freedom for wide variety of design
The CVJ assembly can be designed to best suit the user'srequirements in terms of torque capacity, expansion andinstallation system.
