CONSTANT VELOCITY COUPLING AND CONTROL SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

A constant velocity coupling 10, 305 which rotabably connects an input shaft 11 to an output shaft 12 by means of a control mechanism or control system 21, 309 which, in particular forms, includes a gimbal arrangement comprised of an inner yoke 22 rotatably connected to an outer yoke 16. The control mechanism including control yoke 21 constrains at least portions of the coupling to lie on or in association with a homokinetic plane 300 of the coupling. In particular forms the control mechanism operates symmetrically about supplementary angle bisector 308.
