1, structural features
axis of the shaft is a tube, and a telescopic joint composition. Telescopic automatically adjust change in the distance between the transmission and drive axle. Is to ensure that two joint axes angle change transmission output shaft and the drive axle input shaft, two speed transmission and to achieve an isometric axes. Usually universal joint cross shaft, the cross and flange yoke bearings and other components. Steyr series of heavy vehicles used in the propeller shaft universal joint cross shaft in roller bearings, with a short and thick cross shaft can transmit high torque. Belleville springs is provided in the bearing end face in the pressing roller. Increases the cross shaft end surface reinforced nylon pad having a spiral groove, prevent a large rotation angle or a large power is transmitted from the sintering time.
configuration of a conventional telescopic shaft is a splined sleeve welded together with the flange yoke, the spline shaft is welded to the driveshaft tube. GWB’s propeller shaft and a change in the traditional structure, the spline shaft sleeve and welded into one pipe, the spline shaft is integrally formed with the flange yoke. And the large rectangular spline into short pressure angle involute splines, so as to enhance the strength and easy extrusion, large torque is required to adapt to operating conditions. Telescopic spline shaft sleeve and the dental surface, the overall coating layer of nylon soaked material, not only increases the wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, but also reduces the shock load damage to the drive shaft, to improve the buffering capacity.
This type of spline shaft flange adds a tubular outer protective sealing sheath, the end portion of the protective sleeve is provided two urethane rubber seal, the telescopic sleeve is formed a completely sealed factory space, the telescopic spline shaft from outside dust erosion, not only dust and rust. Therefore, when assembling the disposable apply grease to the spline shaft and the sleeve, completely meet the requirements, does not require lubrication nipple installed, reducing maintenance content.
is a high speed shaft, bearing little rotating body balancing prisoners where it is essential. General propeller shaft balancing test should be carried out at the factory, and has been adjusted on the balancing machine. Therefore, a group supporting the drive shaft is manufactured, should pay special attention in use.

3, the balance shaft
Balance shaft 6 has the following major role:
1, improve product quality and configuration of the rotor;
2, reducing the noise;
3, reducing the vibration;
4, to try to improve the life of the support member (bearing);
5, reduced user discomfort sense;
6, to reduce power consumption of the product.
4, common failure
If the cars occurs chassis “buzzing” sound, and the higher the speed, the louder. This is usually due to a universal joint cross shaft bearing wear and looseness, the intermediate shaft bearing wear, damage or intermediate rubber bearing hanger loose, due to the fixed position or not due to the hanger.
6 × 4 car during heavy load, especially with occasionally bumps percussion issued, should check whether the rear axle balancer shaft displacement interfere with the drive shaft. If the car running with the increase in vehicle speed and the noise increases, and accompanied by jitter, which is usually due to loss of balance due to the drive shaft. This vibration in the cab feel the most obvious. Balancing shaft unbalance amount should be less than 100g.cm.
Balancing shaft failure a serious cause damage to associated components. The most common are fatigue cracks and damage to the clutch housing of the intermediate rubber bearing.
The central suspension shaft mounted in maintenance is important. If improperly installed hanger position, it will increase the drive shaft running resistance and noise, leading to early bearing damage. When reinstalling the hanger, the first hanger fixing bolt not tightened, the car wheels with the ground jack fragmented, downshift, slowly rotating propeller shaft and the drive shaft hanger automatic alignment and then fixed hanger bolting.
5, use and maintenance
1, non car started with a high gear.
2, Meng lift the clutch pedal is prohibited.
3, non-automotive overloading, speeding.
4, the drive shaft should always check the working conditions.
5, should always check the tightness of the hanger shaft, the supporting rubber is damaged, whether all joints Songkuang shaft, the drive shaft is deformed.
6, should often universal joint cross bearings for lubrication, the summer should be injected into lithium grease No. 3, No. 2 winter lithium grease injection. 7, in order to ensure the balancing shaft, a balance should always pay attention to whether the sealing off lug. The new support provided by a drive shaft assembly, the loading should be noted that the telescopic shaft assembly new marker sleeves should ensure a flange yoke in a plane. Disassembling the drive shaft in the maintenance should be kept constant during the original assembly relationship printing assembly marking telescopic shaft with the flange, to prepare for re-assembly.
6, the structure and working environment
The main shaft assembly by the drive shaft and welded at both ends of the spline shaft and yoke components. Generally provided with a sliding shaft by the spline and the spline shaft sliding fork composition to effect changes in the length of the transmission. To reduce the axial sliding resistance and the sliding splines wear, sometimes spline teeth or spray phosphating layers of nylon; others into the other needle, roller or ball spline grooves are rolling elements, rolling friction instead of sliding friction, improve the transmission efficiency. However, this structure is more complex and costly. Sometimes serious impact load to the transmission, the drive shaft having an elasticity also be employed. Spline should be lubricated and dust control measures on the transmission shaft, spline teeth and keyway gap should not be too large, and should mark the corresponding assembly, so as not to damage shaft assembly installed wrong balancing.
The length and angle of the drive shaft and the scope thereof is determined by the change in the total arrangement automotive design. The design should ensure that the length of the drive shaft at the maximum, and the shaft sleeve spline fitting length sufficient; but the minimum length does not in the top die. Shaft angle directly affects the size of the life and the universal joint cross shaft needle bearing, efficiency of the universal drive shaft and the non-uniformity of the cross.
Coupling supporting products used in a variety of different hosts, the working environment around the complex, such as temperature, humidity, water, vapor, dust, sand, oil, acid, alkaline, corrosive, brine, radiation and other conditions, It is one of the important factors that must be considered when selecting the coupling. For heat, cold, oil, acids, bases the working mass medium is generally inappropriate to use an elastic rubber material of flexible coupling member, the resilient member should be selected metal flexible coupling, e.g. diaphragm coupling, Grid couplings and so on.
