[0002] EMUs, especially those with distributed power like the CRH5, are complex in design and structure, requiring an efficient transmission system to ensure power is transmitted from the traction motor to the gearbox, thereby driving the vehicle forward. The CRH5 EMU utilizes the CW250(D) bogie, which was developed through design improvements and solution optimization based on the non-swaying bogie TAV-S104. The EMU's cardan shaft, a key component of this transmission system, is mounted on the gearbox at one end and on the traction motor's safety coupling at the other. It is responsible for transmitting the traction torque from the traction motor to the gearbox.
