UNIVERSAL DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A driveshaft assembly (100) includes a driveshaft (120) with a shaft axis (125), a first end (120a), and a radially outer surface. The first end includes a plurality of recesses (124) extending radially inward from the radially outer surface and each including an engagement surface (126). The driveshaft assembly also includes an end housing (130) with a receptacle (146) including a plurality of planar receptacle surfaces. Further, the driveshaft assembly includes a torque transfer assembly (185) including a plurality of torque transfer keys (190) each with a planar key surface (194) and a convex key surface (196), and an adapter (200) including a plurality of concave adapter surfaces (212) and a plurality of planar adapter surfaces. The engagement surface of the each recess engages the planar key surface of one of the keys. The convex key surface of each key engages one of the concave adapter surfaces. Each of the planar adapter surfaces of the adapter engage with one of the receptacle surfaces.
