Constant-Velocity Joint

Mobile Science Museum · Automotive

Operation: 1. Turn the handwheel on the protective cover to drive the rotating wheel; 2. Turn the handwheel on the tabletop to change the angle of the rotating wheel, then try again to see if the rotation speed is the same? Function Overview: This exhibit is a basic structure of an automotive constant velocity universal joint, demonstrating the working principle of an automotive constant velocity universal joint. Scientific Principle: Why is the rotation speed on both sides always the same? The constant velocity universal joint is an important component in a car's transmission system, and its function is to transmit the engine's power from the transmission to the drive wheels. In a fixed ball-cage universal joint, the star-shaped sleeve is connected to the drive shaft, and its outer surface has 6 grooves forming inner races. The inner surface of the spherical shell has corresponding grooves forming outer races. Six power-transmitting steel balls are respectively installed in each groove and are kept in one plane by a cage. Power is output from the drive shaft through the power-transmitting steel balls and the spherical shell. When the ball-cage universal joint operates, regardless of the direction of motion, all six steel balls transmit force, thereby ensuring that during operation, the force transmission point is always located on the bisecting plane of the angle between the drive shafts, so that the two shafts transmit power at the same angular velocity.
