Specialist in Transmission System Components The automotive transmission system is a complex system that relies on some critical components, including driveshafts, axles, CV joints, and other driveshaft parts for vehicles, including electric and refitted vehicles. Axles support wheels and transfer power from the gearbox to the wheels. At the same time, drive shafts provide the necessary torque to move the car forward. Axles also support the weight of a vehicle. CV joints, or constant velocity joints, allow the axles to flex and bend as the wheels turn while maintaining a constant speed. more Drive Shafts A drive shaft in a vehicle connects the transmission output shaft to the differential input shaft. It transfers torque from the transmission to the differential, then transmits it to the wheels. A drive shaft comprises a long steel or carbon fiber tube with two universal joints that allow the shaft to flex as the car moves over uneven terrain. A flange connects the transmission and differential at each end of the drive shaft. The tube is balanced to reduce vibration and improve the vehicle's overall performance. more Axles An axle is a rod or shaft that rotates the wheels and supports wheels. Axles for vehicles are critical components that connect the wheels to the rest of the vehicle's powertrain. They are responsible for transmitting the torque from the electric motor to the wheels and must be designed to provide a smooth and efficient ride. Axles come in three main types: front, rear, and stub. Shing Shing Long produces front and rear axles for various vehicles, including traditional, electric, and refitted vehicles. more Inboard and outboard CV joints CV joints, or constant velocity joints, are located at either end of the drive shaft. They are responsible for connecting the wheels to the axles and the transmission. The CV joints allowed a smooth power transfer over a broader range of operating angles. more CV Boots CV boots are designed to protect the CV joint from dirt, debris, and other contaminants. The boots are typically made of rubber or silicone. A damaged or worn-out CV boot can lead to severe problems, such as dirt and moisture contamination of CV joints, which can cause the joint to fail and result in expensive repairs. more Other Customized Parts A shaft is combined with other parts to form a drive shaft that converts engine rotation and torque into vehicle motion. These parts include, for example, dynamic dampers, axle nuts, ABS rings, and boot clamps. more
