Power transmission shaft

摘要

The carbon fibre reinforced plastics tube (1) is provided at each end with a cemented-in sleeve (2) and a cemented-on sleeve (3) made of the same material and having the same anisotropy behaviour. A fitting (4) is inserted into each end of the tube to introduce a torque and is secured by bolts (5). The bolts are secured by a sleeve (6). The securing of the fittings by bolts and the adapted structure of the wall reinforcements ensure a safe introduction of torque, even into extremely anisotropic tubes.
