Automobile cardan shaft has 2 half shafts coupled via sliding linkage allowing compensation of vertical and/or horizontal offset between driving and driven units

摘要

The cardan shaft (30) has 2 half shafts (8,13) provided with end couplings (6,15) for a driving unit and a driven unit at their opposing ends and coupled via a sliding linkage (10) at their abutting ends, an axial displacement device (27) provided between the sliding linkage and one of the end couplings.
