CV Joint

The CV Joint, or constant-velocity joint, is part of the KMS automotive shaft range. It transfers rotary drive through an articulated connection while accommodating movement in the vehicle drivetrain.

In a vehicle drive system, this type of joint transfers motion from the transmission towards the driven wheels while accommodating suspension movement. Its role is to maintain smooth transmission of rotation through the working angle of the connection.

Joint bearings and the connecting mechanism require precise assembly. Correct selection and installation are important for smooth operation of the drivetrain.

KMS supplies CV joints as part of its shaft and drivetrain component range. The appropriate joint depends on the vehicle and shaft configuration. Provide the application and connection details when discussing the required component.
