Abstract
CVJ lines of front drive automobiles are composed of the tripod constant velocity joint (CVJ) or the double offset CVJ, the Rzeppa CVJ and the drive shaft. The rotational angle error of the CVJ line and the whirling motion of the drive shaft (the tripod shaft) and its fluctuation of axial direction are analyzed experimentally. From the results of experiments with several values of the angle α between the housing shaft of the tripod CVJ and the drive shaft and the angle β between the outer-race shaft of the Rzeppa CVJ and the drive shaft, characteristics of the rotational angle error and the three dimensional motion (the whirling motion and the fluctuation of axial direction) are clarified.The rotational angle error is sinusoidal of 2π/6 period. The whirling motion has the period of 2π or 2π/6 according to the angle β.
