268 results about "Constant-velocity joint" patented technology

Constant-velocity joints (also known as homokinetic or CV joints) allow a drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used in front wheel drive vehicles. Modern rear wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension typically use CV joints at the ends of the rear axle halfshafts and increasingly use them on the drive shafts.

An axial piston pump with a main shaft driving a tilting cylinder assembly at constant speed

This invention discloses an axial piston pump with a main shaft driven at a constant velocity to rotate an inclined cylinder assembly.

Multiple curved groove raceways or multiple straight groove raceways are located on the outer surface of the ball joints. Corresponding raceways are provided between the cylinder and the multiple curved groove raceways or multiple straight groove raceways. Torque is transmitted through the rolling contact of balls within the raceways, forming a fixed or telescopic ball cage type constant velocity universal joint transmission mechanism, achieving constant velocity drive of the inclined cylinder rotation by the main shaft. Because the components at both ends of the piston, namely the turntable and the cylinder, rotate at completely equal and synchronous speeds, the "floating" motion of the float in a float pump can be effectively solved, making the internal rotating components operate more stably under high-speed driving conditions and reducing friction and wear problems.
