3D Model of Automotive Constant Velocity Joint
Print Profile(1)
Description
Here we introduce the automotive constant velocity joint (CVJ).
History of the CVJ (Constant Velocity Joint) :
The CVJ is a mechanism that transmits rotational speed at a constant rate regardless of changes in rotational angle. It is a critical component that supported the shift to front-wheel drive (FF) and the pursuit of higher performance in automobiles.
In the 1920s, Jean-Albert Grégoire of France invented the practical ball-type constant velocity joint (Rzeppa type). This is considered the prototype of the CVJ.
The joint in this 3D model is a standard combination of a fixed type and an extensible type. The part configuration of the 3D model closely resembles the actual unit, so it contains small parts. Some areas require fine adjustments using a knife or file.
For smooth operation, carefully repair any imperfections on the printed surface.
Parts required besides the 3D printed components:
・7mm stainless steel balls: 6 pieces per set
・3mm stainless steel balls: 18 pieces per set
Double the quantities are needed if making two sets.
