“…The relative sliding motions between the rollers and tracks will generate quite large friction forces and cause noise and vibration problems in mechanical systems including TJ. 10,11,13,17 Regarding the aforementioned problems, Watanabe et al 18 proposed a novel structure called 'a tripod constant velocity joint of the spherical end spider'. Its features are as follows: (1) the shapes of the trunnions are spherical, (2) the shapes of both inner and outer rings are cylindrical and between them are filled with several needle rollers and (3) the cross-sectional shapes of the tracks in the housing are U-shaped.…”

“…However, for such structure, the bottoms of the rollers will inevitably collide with the U-shaped tracks generating severe impact loads, especially at high rotational speeds. Lim et al 17 proposed another novel structure named 'very low axial force tripod joint' by adding three outer rings directly outside TJ's three spherical rollers. The radii of the outer rings' spherical inner surfaces are slightly larger than those of the inner rings' spherical outer surfaces.…”

To solve the shortcomings and structural defects of the tripod joint, a novel structure named ‘double roller tripod joint’ is designed in this paper with the following features: (1) gothic arc-shaped tracks, (2) outer rollers with semi-toroid outer surfaces, (3) cylindrical inner rollers and (4) spherical trunnions. Based on spatial Cartesian kinematics and vector method, a novel method for kinematic analysis of the double roller tripod joint is proposed. The proposed method is validated by bench tests. By comparing the kinematics between the double roller tripod joint and tripod joint, it can be concluded that the double roller tripod joint has prominent advantages such as 0° relative pitch angles between the rollers and tracks and better constant velocity property. In addition, compared with other tripod-type joints, the proposed double roller tripod joint also has advantages in performances, manufacturability and assembling ability.

An automotive drive shaft is used in a front drive transmission vehicle for transmitting rotary movement from the gearbox output shaft to the wheels with a constant velocity. This paper presents the kinematic model of ball joint and tripod joint with consideration of clearance and proposes a simplified dynamics model of the drive shaft. The simulation of the dynamics model is given by the measured data. Also, the abrasive wear of the ball type joint is tested on the experimental setup with consideration of full loading. The results show that the dynamics of the motion will be affected by the clearance when the loading changes its direction. The motion will be stable due to the damping. It can be found that the abrasive wear of ball joint largely depends on the relative sliding velocity from the experiments. This will probably affect the dynamics performance and the impact force, which will also cause the other type of failures.

“…Tripod CV joints at the inboard are favored for automatic transmission vehicles because of their low noise and vibration with lower plunging resistance over ball-type joints. A tripod CV joint consists of an outer housing, which is formed with three track grooves extending along the shaft axis, and a central spider, which is composed of three trunnions equally spaced at 120° circumferential intervals, supporting needles, and spherical roller assemblies [1]. CV joints allow axial plunge movement of the driveshaft because of its kinematics.…”

Generated axial force (GAF) induced by internal friction in a tripod constant velocity (CV) joint causes shudder, which is related to lateral vibration in a vehicle. GAF is produced by tripod dynamics in the CV joint, and its magnitude is related to an applied torque and articulation angle. GAF provides periodic frictional force, owing to its kinematics, and causes take-off shudder that occurs when a vehicle abruptly accelerates from a stop position. Therefore, accurately estimating the GAF in a CV joint is necessary. A non-rotating type GAF measurement tester is developed to measure GAF more accurately, considering the shudder condition. Results of GAF measurements are compared with those obtained using an existing rotating-type tester. The developed tester provides linear results regardless of test conditions; thus, it can be used to estimate the magnitude of GAF and evaluate the friction performance of grease.
