HOMOKINETIC JOINTS – ancestor of the constant velocity joint (simultaneous), that is, transmitting the rotational movement from shaft to shaft in a uniform manner, there are a pair of closely spaced universal joints, and in the extreme case, two such joints joined together. However, this solution is still burdened … read on
CROSS JOINTS – It is the simplest form of a joint, torque transmission during rotation of significantly deflected shaft sections. The construction of the universal joint is simple: it consists of two hinges with rotation axes perpendicular to each other. Practical design solutions may vary, … read on
FLEXIBLE JOINTS – Their property is to allow only minimal angular deviations of the connected shaft parts, while the most important thing is shock absorption, occurring in the operation of the drive system. As a result, flexible joints are mainly used to protect other system components against overloads and vibrations, occurring … read on
In every car, it is necessary to transfer torque between parts of the mechanisms, that change their position towards each other. That's when you need to use joints – propeller shaft components capable of transmitting torque, when adjacent parts of the shaft are set at an angle to each other, not coaxial.

Although modern drive joints are by no means a nuisance to drivers and car repair shops, however, they require some attention. The most important thing in each joint is lubrication. Paradoxically, even in elastic joints, of which a substantial part, i.e. vibration-absorbing rubber, hates petroleum products. Można bowiem przybliżyć koniec żywota … read on
