Metallopolymer materials for the construction of tribotechnical parts of cardan shafts of a new type

Abstract

This article is dedicated to addressing the following technical and operational issues through the analysis
of scientific solutions. We know that failure of some units of the cardan transmission leads to the
destruction of the connected units (for example, the drive axles and gearbox reducers) in the presence of
a significant imbalance. The large metal volume, vibration activity, low reliability level, and large axial
forces arising in the spline connection of the crankshaft are serious drawbacks in the design of most
crankshafts, therefore, the issues of improving the design of crankshafts and increasing their reliability
level are relevant and require immediate solutions. In solving these problems, the role of materials science
and technological aspects is significant, the consideration of which at the stage of designing a cardan
transmission ensures achieving optimal operational life.
