摘要:
A hollow shaft material (1') is provided with, on an outer peripheral surface (1g) side thereof, for example, a movable induction heating coil (5) wrapped therearound. While a high-frequency current with a predetermined frequency is caused to flow through the induction heating coil (5), the induction heating coil (5) is axially moved to perform induction hardening of the hollow shaft material (1') from the outer peripheral surface (1g) side. At this moment, the frequency of the high-frequency current caused to flow through the induction heating coil (5) is set relatively low as to the small-diameter portions (1b), which have a relatively small thickness, and the frequency of the high-frequency current caused to flow through the induction heating coil (5) is set relatively high as to the large-diameter portion (1a), which has a relatively small thickness.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for improving a strength, especially a fatigue strength of a power transmission shaft provided with a serrated portion for torque transmission such as a spline shaft. A power transmission shaft is serration-fitted to an inner joint member of respective constant velocity joints (2, 3). A driveshaft (1) is provided with a serrated portion (A) as well as a smooth portion (B) having a cylindrical outer circumferential surface (4a). A cut-up portion (13) is formed at the end portion of the serrated portion (A). When applying an induction hardening to the smooth portion (B) and the serrated portion (A), a hardening ratio of the smooth portion (B) is set at a different value from that of the serrated portion (A), and such that a fatigue strength of the smooth portion (A) becomes equal to or greater than that of the serrated portion (A).
摘要:
A method of producing a hollow power transmission shaft having a large-diameter portion formed along an axially central portion thereof and small-diameter portions, which have splines formed at ends thereof respectively, formed along axially opposite lateral portion thereof, the small-diameter portions being located laterally with respect to the large-diameter, the method comprising: Drawing a pipe material to form a hollow shaft material having the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portions; preparing a dice having on an inner periphery thereof a spline molding portion, whose maximum diameter is larger than an outer diameter of the ends of the small-diameter portions of the hollow shaft material and whose minimum diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the ends of the small-diameter portions of the hollow shaft material; and axially press-fitting the ends of the small-diameter portions of the hollow shaft material into the spline molding portion of the dice to mold the splines at the ends respectively.

摘要:
A hollow power transmission shaft, comprising: a large-diameter portion formed along an axially central portion thereof; small-diameter portions, which are formed along axially opposite lateral portion thereof, and are located laterally with respect to the large- diameter portion; and a hollow portion formed along an inner periphery thereof, wherein the hollow portion is filled with a resin foam to be sealed by the resin foam.
