Tripod joint
|
In this joint, there is a tripod with three trunnion shafts on the same plane. Three rollers are fitted on these trunnions, and fitted to each of the rollers are three tulips with grooves which are parallel to each other. The construction of this system is simple and it is inexpensive. Generally, this type of joint can move in the axial direction.
This type of joint is used on the drive shaft differential side. |
