Title:
車両駆動シャフト及び芯合せ組み立て方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005518512
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An apparatus for processing a drive shaft ( 11 ) for a vehicle, the drive shaft ( 11 ) having a longitudinal axis and first and second ends. There is provided a drive arrangement for coupling to the first end of the drive shaft and applying a rotatory force to the drive shaft ( 11 ). A second end support arrangement rotationally supports the drive shaft ( 11 ) at its second end. Also, a transaxial drive ( 35 ) for applying a transverse force in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft ( 11 ). The transaxial drive includes a transaxially displaceable roller arrangement for communicating with an outer surface of the drive shaft ( 11 ) in a region thereof intermediate of the drive arrangement and the support arrangement, via which the transverse force is applied. The transverse force has a magnitude sufficient to cause bending of the drive shaft ( 11 ) in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof as the drive shaft is rotated. In some embodiments, the transverse force has a magnitude sufficient to cause plastic deformation of the drive shaft ( 11 ) in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof as the drive shaft is rotated.
