Drive shaft mechanism in motor cycle

Abstract

The job involved is the design for suitable propeller shaft and replacement of chain drive smoothly to transmit power from the engine to the wheel without slip. It needs only a less maintenance. Because it will not get worn out during service as compared to chain drive. It is cost effective. Propeller shaft strength is more and also propeller shaft diameter is less. it absorbs the shock. Because the propeller shaft center is fitted with the universal joint is a flexible joint. It turns into any ANGULAR position. The both end of the shaft are fitted with the bevel pinion, the bevel pinion engaged with the crown and power is transmitted to the rear wheel through the propeller shaft and gear box. © IDOSI Publications, 2014.
