Abstract
Generated axial force (GAF) induced by internal friction in a tripod constant velocity (CV) joint causes shudder, which is related to lateral vibration in a vehicle. GAF is produced by tripod dynamics in the CV joint, and its magnitude is related to an applied torque and articulation angle. GAF provides periodic frictional force, owing to its kinematics, and causes take-off shudder that occurs when a vehicle abruptly accelerates from a stop position. Therefore, accurately estimating the GAF in a CV joint is necessary. A non-rotating type GAF measurement tester is developed to measure GAF more accurately, considering the shudder condition. Results of GAF measurements are compared with those obtained using an existing rotating-type tester. The developed tester provides linear results regardless of test conditions; thus, it can be used to estimate the magnitude of GAF and evaluate the friction performance of grease.
