    摘要: A method for forming an enlarged diameter aluminum alloy driveshaft tube having an interior reduced diameter portion that avoids clearance issues with respect to other components of the vehicle includes the initial step of providing a tube of aluminum alloy material having a diameter that corresponds to the enlarged diameter of the driveshaft tube to be formed. Then, a determination is made as to whether any component of the vehicle is located sufficiently close to the driveshaft tube to interfere with the rotation thereof during normal operation. If so, the position and axial length of the potential interference is located on the aluminum alloy tube. A diameter reducing process is then performed on the aluminum alloy tube to form the interior reduced diameter portion to eliminate the potential interference. Next, the ends of the enlarged diameter tube may be reduced if desired, such as by swaging, to form the driveshaft tube having the first and second diameter reducing portions at the ends thereof If desired, the step of forming the first and second diameter reducing portions can precede or occur simultaneously with the step of forming the interior reduced diameter portion. To complete the method of this invention, yokes are secured to the reduced diameter end portions of the driveshaft tube, and the driveshaft tube is installed in the drive train system of the vehicle.

    摘要: An automotive vehicle suspension unit assembly located near the sides of a vehicle includes a driving axle shaft, a gear box, an electric motor, and a suspension beam. The driving axle shaft, which drives a wheel hub of the vehicle, defines an axis of rotation about which the wheel hub rotates. The gear box includes a pinion shaft connected to a pinion gear which meshes with a ring gear. The pinion shaft is driven by a motor drive shaft which extends outwardly from the electric motor. The motor generates the torque necessary to drive the driving axle shaft. As known, suspension beams extend transversely to the axis of rotation of the driving axle shaft. The electric motor is pivotally attached to the gear box by means of a flexible coupling and is pivotally attached to the suspension beam by means of a movable connection. The flexible coupling allows the electric motor to pivot relative to the gear box and the movable connection allows the electric motor to pivot relative to the suspension beam as the suspension beam receives road load input.

    摘要: A gear reduction assembly having directly cooperating gears which serve to rotatably connect an input shaft to an output shaft through an intermediate shaft. The input and output shafts have parallel axes of rotation and extend, respectively, from seals in opposite sides of a housing. The inner ends of the input and output shafts are spaced from one another and are each provided with an identical pinion gear. The intermediate shaft is rotatably carried between the pinion gears and has an axis of rotation positioned at right angles to the axes of rotation of the input and output shafts. A pair of differently sized ring gears having different numbers of teeth are affixed in a back-to-back relationship on the intermediate shaft. The pinion gear on the input shaft engages the relatively smaller ring gear on the intermediate shaft whereas the pinion gear on the output shaft engages the relatively larger ring gear on the intermediate shaft. The gear reduction assembly is utilized in the power train of a vehicle and is positioned between the transmission and propeller shaft to permanently reduce the gear ratio between the engine and one or more drive axles.

    摘要: A universal joint for small articulation angles, especially, an intermediate joint in a propeller shaft of motor vehicles, has an outer joint part (11) with longitudinally extending first ball tracks (14) which, between stop faces, include an axial length with an unchanged cross-section; an inner joint part (31, 51) with longitudinally extending second ball tracks (36, 56) whose axial length is greater than that of the first ball tracks (14); and torque transmitting balls (15) guided in the radially opposed first and second ball tracks (14, 36, 56). The outer joint part (11), at least in the axial region of the ball tracks (14) is produced as a formed plate metal part with an approximately constant wall thickness. The ball tracks (14), in the outer joint part (11), are formed by circumferentially distributed formations (13) axially closed at both ends by stops (16, 17).

    摘要: Cross member units for universal joints have a cross member (6) with four arms (17). Each two opposing arms define a common longitudinal axis (7). A bearing bush (9), covering the arm (17), is provided per arm (17). In the space between the casing (25) of the bearing bush (9) and the cylindrical running face (19) of the arm (17), rolling contact members (32) are arranged in the form of a rim. Towards the open end (30) of the bearing bush (9), a preseal (44) and main seal (37) are arranged between the arms (17) and the casing (25). To achieve a high running performance and a maintenance-free assembly for storing lubricating grease, the arms (17) include a storage chamber (20) which is open towards its end face (18) and otherwise closed. The chamber is tapered, starting from the end face (18). Furthermore, the main seal (37) is secured to the bearing bush (9) by means of an externally positioned carrier (39) which projects beyond the open end of the bearing bush (9). The outer face of the carrier (39) serves to contact one of two seals (51, 52) of the preseal (44). The other sealing lip serves to contact a stop face (31) at the open end (30) of the bearing bush (9). The main seal also includes two continuous sealing lips (38, 38') for sealing purposes.

The propeller shaft is characterised in that a stud (4) is welded to a cylindrical outer surface of the body (1) so as to project outwardly from that surface. The weight (5) has a hole (8) therethrough and located over the stud (4) so that the stud (4) extends into the hole (8). A terminal end portion (10) of the stud (4) contacts the weight (5) so as to thereby prevent separation of the weight (5) from the stud (4). A method for attaching a balance weight to a propeller shaft is also provided.
