TCVJ Running at 15deg and 2500rpm
  • Where shaft angles are greater than 10 degrees
  • Where the (speed x angle) relationship exceeds 14,000



Non Parallel shaft applications

  • Use to transmit torque at constant velocity through only one coupling at an angle
  • Use to transmit torque at constant velocity through 2 couplings and a connecting shaft with unequal or varying angles without the need for phased coupling connections

Axial load transfer applications

  • Suspend rotating loads through the coupling and still provide full articulation

    TCVJ High Axial Loads i.e. Helicopter
  • Transmit rotating thrust load component through the coupling at an angle
  • Transfer motion at 90 degrees at 1:1 constant velocity ratio without sliding losses

Constant velocity requirements

  • True constant velocity of the rotating output shaft providing benefits in:
    • Overall minimal vibration disturbances to the drivetrain system
    • no inertial excitations from non constant velocity components
    • no induced torsional excitation loads transferred to the system
    • reduced secondary couple loading on supporting bearing structures.
    • reducing energy consumption
