1. OVERVIEW
The propeller shaft is a thin steel pipe which transfers the power from the transmission to the E-
coupling, and has high resistance to torsion and bending.
The propeller shaft has the universal joint (cross axle) mounted on the center of the shaft and
splines for the slip joint on the E-coupling side to accommodate the height and length changes
which occur as the shaft rotates at high speed.
And the rubber bushing for center bearing in the center of the propeller shaft keeps the balance of
the shaft and absorbs its vibration.
CV joint
▶ Function of propeller shaft
- Transmits driving torque.
- Accommodates the angle change (universal joint / CV joint).
- Accommodates the axial length change (splines for the slip joint).
