A Rzeppa-type CV joint. A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling which allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts, within a certain range, to maintain the same velocity.
The article needs a means of comparing the various CV joint types. Perhaps a table with the following columns: name, invention data, complexity/cost, efficiency, degrees of freedom?, etc..--Hooperbloob 18:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC) Good idea. I'd lose efficiency, it is very hard to measure because all CV joints are very efficient.
Clunking sounds: Driver can hear the noises especially when turning the vehicle, accelerating or even putting it into reverse. Vibration: An early and common symptom of a failing drive shaft is an intense vibration coming from underneath the vehicle. Worn out couplings, u-joints, or bearings cause excessive drive shaft vibration.
The joints may also make sounds because of damage to or irregularity in the joint surface or internal structure of the joint, says Lawrie. People with arthritis usually experience this type of ...
Joint cracking is the manipulation of joints to produce a sound and related "popping" sensation. It is sometimes performed by physical therapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths [1] pursuing a variety of outcomes. The cracking of joints, especially knuckles, was long believed to lead to arthritis and other joint problems.
All idling is bad — and it's worse the longer you idle for — but idling in traffic or poorly ventilated spaces like parking garages or under overpasses "can be particularly harmful," Ganjian says.
Several distinct sounds are created by various parts of the train, such as engines, traction motors, brakes, and the wheels rolling on the rails. Roughness and irregularities on the wheel and rail surfaces are a source of noise and vibration. Rail joints and squats on the rail cause a familiar "clickety-clack" sound as train wheels roll over them.
The Rover 8 had a torque-tube like backbone, lacking a pivoting joint between the transmission and the proper torque-tube to the rear differential casing, to allow suspension travel. The "torque" referred to in the name is not that of the driveshaft along the axis of the car but that applied by the wheels.
