Prop shaft - for the WiKi?

[Baxter]

After getting my Iltis running, I notices a noisy joint on the drive train.
Today I removed the prop shaft (cardan shaft?)
I have measured it and spoken to GKN.

Dimesnions
25 splines
32mm deep
100mm outer diameter
6 holes
86mm PCD (bolt circle)
holes to suit 8mm bolts.

Loebro No - 301142

But then that number crosses over to lots of items!

I am unsure of the heat treatment on the item listed above, the Iltis joint seems to have a black harnened finish, GKN do not have a listing for this part so they could not confirm if the item listed above.
The part above is dimensionally correct, it will bolt on and work.

you should remember that wheel joints do not properly work in cardan joint due to different angle of work

[Baxter]

hmm, GKN themselves gave me the part numbers and did not mention this?
Maybe it's the black industrial finish on the joint that makes this different from a normal constant velocity joint?
I will ask further..

computerpeople

just disassemble the two joints (prop + cardan) and compare the ball paths
there you will see a very varied path

[chrislb]

Sorry, Tobi-Iltisteile,
I don't understand your arguments.
Of course, one should never use a constant-velocity-joint with a too small max tolerable angle.
But the working angle of the wheel joints is bigger than that of the cardan (=prop shaft).
So, where's the problem?

Oder auf deutsch:
wenn man ein Gleichlaufgelenk mit weniger als dem zulässigen Auslenkungswinkel benutzt liegt man auf der sicheren Seite. Andersrum ist's Mist.

es geht nicht um den winkel, aber um die belastbarkeit

it's not about the angle but about the load capacity

[chrislb]

I understand.
It's not the angle (that's what I read from your input yesterday) but the load capacity. Shaft has to drive two wheels.
