Working Model of Drive Shaft
Product Code : EL-AELE-10743
Working Model of Drive Shaft (code EL-AELE-10743) is a demonstration unit for the acceleration and deceleration that occur in universal joints and drive shafts running at an angle, where a constant-speed input shaft drives an output shaft whose speed varies with the angle between them. Driven by an electric motor on a 230 V, 50 Hz single phase supply, it is installed in a mobile frame with adjustable shaft angles, visual indicators and toothed wheels that make the speed changes audible.

What Is the Working Model of Drive Shaft Used For?
A universal joint does not pass rotation through at an even rate when its shafts meet at an angle: with the input turning steadily, the output speeds up and slows down during each revolution, and the effect grows as the angle increases, causing vibration and wear over time. Propeller shafts carry drive from the gearbox to the rear axle, and short drive shafts take it from the final drive to the road wheels, so the effect matters on rear- and front-wheel-drive vehicles alike. Students set different shaft angles with the adjustment system, run the motor and compare what the visual indicators show and the toothed wheels sound like at each setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the output shaft change speed?
When the input and output shafts of a universal joint meet at an angle, the output turns at a varying speed even though the input runs at constant speed, and a larger angle makes the effect greater.
How are the speed changes shown?
Visual indicators show the variation, and toothed wheels make the changes in speed audible, so students can both see and hear the effect.
Can the shaft angle be changed?
Yes, the universal shaft adjustment lets different driveshaft angles be selected, so the effect at small and large angles can be compared.
What power does the model require?
The electric motor runs on a 230 V, 50 Hz, single phase supply, and the whole drive shaft rig sits in a mobile frame of approximately 800 × 500 × 600 mm and 45 kg.
What is the difference between a propeller shaft and a drive shaft?
The propeller shaft transmits power from the gearbox to the rear axle, usually as a tube in one- or two-piece form, while short drive shafts carry drive from the final drive to the road wheels.
