Cardan shaft in drive train of vehicles

摘要

The middle shaft joint (9) is formed as a so-called disc joint with flexible ring disc (12) set perpendicular to rotational axis and fitted on the circumference with mutually spaced three-finger flanges (13) of the adjoining shaft sections (2,3). By dispensing with a separate length adjustment inside one of the shaft sections, the rear shaft joint (10) is formed as a homo-kinetic shaft joint in such a design that allows axial length adjustment inside the joint itself. The axial division (11) of the first shaft section (2) is set in the area of the tubular wall of the hollow shaft close to the rotary bearing (4) whereby this division of the tubular wall can be closed by a connecting structure (14)
