    摘要: A power transmission shaft includes: a bearing including a cylindrical portion, an internal spline portion, and an internal spline side annular groove including a bottom surface, and a first side wall and a second side wall, the first side wall which includes a first inclination surface inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the shaft portion, and on which the circlip is abutted in a state where a radius of the circlip is decreased within the internal spline side annular groove, and the second side wall on which the circlip is abutted in the state where the radius of the circlip is decreased within the internal spline side annular groove.

    摘要: According to the present invention, a low surface-roughness part (114a) is formed at a first tapered part (114), and, as a result, the roughness of an opening-edge of a groove part (113a) of an internal spline part (113) that opens at the first tapered part (114) is reduced, and surface pressure applied by the opening edge to a tooth (123b) of an external spline part (123) can be reduced. As a result, the opening edge of the groove part (113a) of the internal spline part (113) can be kept from digging into the tooth (123b), and variation, between products, in the insertion load of a second shaft part (12) can be suppressed.

    摘要: A propeller shaft (1), as a power transmitting shaft, of the present invention is configured such that a snap ring (8) as a retaining ring can be inserted inwards into a first penetration slot (31) formed at a tubular portion body (33) of a tubular portion (30) from a radial direction outer side. With this, good workability of assembly of the snap ring (8) is secured. Further, an engagement-stop state of a second shaft (3) by the snap ring (8) can be visually checked from the outside through the first penetration slot (31), then check of an engagement state by the snap ring (8) can be made.

    摘要: A propeller shaft as a power transmission shaft includes a CFRP tube formed in a cylindrical shape as a shaft member, wherein a helical layer portion mainly bearing torsional strength and bending strength is made of carbon fiber of first carbon fiber material having a relatively high tensile strength (or a tensile elasticity), and wherein a hoop layer portion that is disposed at least one of inside and outside of the helical layer portion in a radial direction with respect to a rotational axis thereof and that does not bear torsional strength or bending strength is made of carbon fiber of second carbon fiber material having a tensile strength (or a tensile elasticity) lower than that of the first carbon fiber material.

    摘要: A propeller shaft as a power transmission shaft is provided between vehicle-side first second shaft parts, and a first tube as a first shaft member is connected to the first shaft part through a first joint member and to the second shaft part through a second joint member. The first tube is connected to the first joint member through a first collar member and to the second joint member through a second collar member. The first collar member includes a first main body part exposed from a first end portion of the first tube, and a first insertion part inserted into the inside of the first end portion. In at least the first collar member, the maximum value of the outer diameter of the first main body part is set to be no greater than the maximum value of the outer diameter of the first insertion part.
