What Are the Types of Universal Transmission Devices?
1 Answers
Universal transmission devices include two types: closed and open. The closed type features a transmission housing that acts as a thrust tube to transmit the longitudinal force of the vehicle, thereby allowing the transmission shaft housing to function as a longitudinal swing arm in the suspension system's guiding mechanism. The open type is structurally simple and lightweight, making it widely used in modern vehicles. The purpose of a universal transmission device is to connect the transmission output shaft and the main reducer input shaft, which are not aligned in a straight line, and to ensure reliable power transmission despite frequent changes in the angle and distance between the two shafts. It mainly consists of universal joints, drive shafts, and intermediate supports.
