Design and manufacture of an automotive hybrid aluminum/composite drive shaft

Manufacture of one-piece automotive drive shafts with aluminum and composite materials

A fixed type constant velocity universal joint has track grooves of an outer joint member including first and second track groove portions located on depth and opening sides, respectively. The first track groove portions each have a circular-arc part having a curvature center that is not offset in an axial direction with respect to a joint center, are inclined in a circumferential direction with respect to a joint axial line, and are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction with their inclination directions opposite to each other. The second track groove portions have a different shape than the first track groove portions to increase an effective track length with respect to a maximum operating angle. The first and second track groove portions are connected respectively to each other on the opening side with respect to the joint center.

Optimal design of the press fit joint for a hybrid aluminum/composite drive shaft

Eight torque transmission balls (3) are arranged separately. A ratio r1 (=PCDBALL/DBALL) of a pitch diameter PCDBALL (PCDBALL=2xPCR) of a torque transmission ball (3) to a diameter DBALL is set to a value in the range of 3.5≤r1≤5.0. A ratio r2 (=DOUTER/PCDSERR) of an outer diameter DOUTER of an outer coupling member (1) to a pitch diameter PCDSERR of a serration (or a spline) (2c) of an inner coupling member (2) is set to a value in the range of 2.5≤r2∫3.2.

The useful life of a driveshaft is determined mainly by the joints. For this reason the other component parts will not be discussed here; they can in any case be designed using the general principles of strength of materials.
