    摘要: A water-impermeable cover includes an opening part extending toward an opening part of a holding ring of a stub shaft of a propeller shaft, and is disposed to face the opening part of the holding ring. The water-impermeable cover is fixed at a position to face the opening part of the holding ring of the stub shaft, and the opening part of the water-impermeable cover extends to approach the opening part of the holding ring: therefore, even if muddy water etc. scatters obliquely toward the opening part of the holding ring, the risk of muddy water etc. entering the opening part of the holding ring is reduced, and as a result, also the risk of muddy water etc. entering an interior of a center bearing is reduced.

    摘要: In a coupling structure for a propeller shaft and a propeller shaft, a propeller shaft-side adapter includes: a flange portion of the propeller shaft-side adapter extending in a radial direction relative to a rotation axis of a rotation shaft, and connected to a flange portion of a vehicle-side adapter; a center pin accommodating portion formed on the rotation axis, and into which a center pin provided to the vehicle-side adapter is inserted; and an inner peripheral portion formed between the flange portion of the propeller shaft-side adapter and the center pin accommodating portion in the radial direction relative to the rotation axis, which is opposed to the vehicle-side adapter in a direction of the rotation axis, and in which a distance from the rotation axis in the radial direction relative thereto decreases extending away from the flange portion of the vehicle-side adapter in the rotation axis direction.

    摘要: As a stopper for restricting movement of a rotary shaft 31 of a transmission device 3 and a shaft part 41 of a first drive-side joint member J11 in a direction of approaching each other, a stopper part 5 is formed separately from the shaft part 41 and a yoke body part 42 of the first drive-side joint member so that the stopper function of the first drive-side joint member J11 is guaranteed by the separately-formed stopper part 5 in the present invention. With this configuration, a change in the gravity center position of the first drive-side joint member caused due to build-up processing on the shaft part or the yoke body part is suppressed. It is possible to restrict relative movement of the first drive-side joint member and the rotary shaft while ensuring adequate machining for formation of a shaft-part-side seal surface on the first drive-side joint member.

    摘要: A propeller shaft includes an outer ring member having a bottom section through which a vent hole is formed, on a first end part connected to a shaft member. The propeller shaft further includes an inner ring member provided to the inner peripheral side of a second end part of the outer ring member on the side axially opposite to the first end part and connected to a rod member; a ball member between the inner and outer ring members, which is lubricated by grease; a plate member attached to the inner peripheral part of the outer ring member and forming an auxiliary chamber with the bottom section; and a communication path. The communication path allows communication between the first end part side and the second end part side of the outer ring member with the plate member interposed therebetween.

    摘要: In the present invention, a first arm outer edge chamfered portion (115) and a second arm outer edge chamfered portion (125) are formed along both side edges on an outer side of each of a first arm base portion (111) and a second arm base portion (121). With this structure, it is possible to reduce a radius (radii) of rotation of a first arm portion (11) and a second arm portion (12) of a first yoke (1), then layout property of the first yoke (1) and a propeller shaft using this first yoke (1) can be increased.

    摘要: A water-impermeable cover includes an opening part extending toward an opening part of a holding ring of a stub shaft of a propeller shaft, and is disposed to face the opening part of the holding ring. The water-impermeable cover is fixed at a position to face the opening part of the holding ring of the stub shaft, and the opening part of the water-impermeable cover extends to approach the opening part of the holding ring: therefore, even if muddy water etc. scatters obliquely toward the opening part of the holding ring, the risk of muddy water etc. entering the opening part of the holding ring is reduced, and as a result, also the risk of muddy water etc. entering an interior of a center bearing is reduced.
