The working principle of the automobile axle is to transfer torque from the differential to the wheels, so as to achieve the function of driving the car. The half shaft is a key component connecting the differential and the drive wheel. It has a universal joint at both the inner and outer ends. It is connected with the gear of the reducer and the inner ring of the hub bearing by splines on the universal joint
The axleshaft changes the direction of torque transmission through the bevel gear pair of the main reducer, and realizes the differential effect of the two sides of the wheels through the differential to ensure that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds
Classification of half axles According to the different forms of support, the common non-disconnected drive axle half axle can be divided into full floating, 3/4 floating and semi-floating. Full floating shaft only transmits torque, does not bear any reaction and bending moment; 3/4 floating axle not only transmits torque, but also bears part of bending moment; The semi-floating shaft transmits torque at the same time and bears all the reaction force and bending moment
