Hooke's joint
& differential

INTRODUCTION
1. Two U-shaped yokes or forks which are
integral with driving & driven shafts
2. The cross, which is connecting link
The arm of the cross are at right angles. The
torque is transmitted from the driving shaft
to the driven shaft through the cross.

An universal joint or Hooke's joint is used to


connect non parallel and intersecting shafts
having small intersecting angle.
It is mainly used to transmit power from gear
box to rear axle in automobile vehicles.
The motion is transmitted from one shaft to
another by the centre piece.
The driving shaft rotates at uniform angular
speed but the driven shaft rotates at continuously
varying angular speed.

FEATURES OF HOOKE JOINT

Practically maintenance free.


Shield lubricated needle bearings .
Provides precise positioning.
Maintains low backlash.
Operates continuously at high speeds.

TYPES OF HOOKES JOINT


1. Single Hooke joint.
2. Double hook joint.

SINGLE HOOKE JOINT

DOUBLE HOOKE JOINT

CHARACTERISTICS OF UNIVERSAL JOINT


Speed variations :- While operating at an angle, Ujoints speed up and slow down twice per revolution
Joint phasing :- The vibrations caused by one Ujoint are transmitted to the other one
Cancelling angles :- The angle of the front U-joint is
offset by the rear one. The correct angle must be
maintained to minimize vibration

PURPOSES OF DRIVE SHAFT


Transmits power from the transmission to the
differential.
Allows the transmission and the rear axle
assembly to be at different heights.
Allows the rear axle to move up and down
while maintaining a connection to the
transmission.

FEATURES OF DRIVE SHAFT


Can be made of steel, aluminium, or
composite material
May have cardboard liner to reduce noise
Has a yoke welded to each end
Universal joints are used to connect to
pinion flange yoke and sleeve yoke
May have balance weights attached

ADVANTAGES OF HOOKE'S JOINT

High torque capacity


Long bearing life
High operating angle capability
Heat treated alloy steel components
Ideal loading across entire bearing length
due to balanced deflection between yokes
and cross
High Shock and
Overload Capacity
Long Life

DISADVANTAGES
It can not be used for high speed
applications.
In case of single Hookes joint, even if the
driving shaft is rotating at constant speed,
the driven shaft rotates with acceleration.
this generate, the inertia torque on the driven
shaft.

APPLICATIONS
Coupling between the gear box and the
differential of automobile.
To transmit the drives to different spindles of
multi spindles drilling machine.
It is used to connect two non parallel and
intersecting axis shafts, having small angle
between two axis..

DIFFERENTIALS

What is a differential?
Differential is a device capable of transmitting
torque and rotation through three shafts, almost
always used in one of two ways. In one of these,
it receives one input and provides two outputs;
this is found in most automobiles. In an
automobile and other wheeled vehicles, the
differential allows each of the driving wheels to
rotate at different speeds, while supplying equal
torque to each of them.

Purpose of a differential
The differential is found on all modern cars
and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-drive
vehicles. These all-wheel-drive vehicles
need a differential between each set of
drive wheels, and they need one between
the front and the back wheels as well,
because the front wheels travel a different
distance through a turn than the rear
wheels.

Parts of a differential

APPLICATIONS

All most all multi wheel automobile runs by the help of


differential.
