The problem of a dying driveshaft

  • shalom

    Why not do with the axis shaft? It also costs about 6, no more. The axis itself may not make such an impression, but the shafts they need are reliable, although they guarantee the absence of backlash, but it will clearly appear after years of use only. The adjustment of the left pedal independent of the beater angle is especially convenient. Having adjusted to the relative balance, all you have to do is work with your feet and no unnecessary inconveniences. Tested for Pearl Eliminator 2002c

    because my version turned out to be even cheaper and easier, because I went along the path of repairing the shaft, and not replacing it. On my cardan, the angle of the left beater is adjustable :)

    is it reinforced from KAMAZ or what?

    made of tool steel. Slightly larger in diameter.

  • runner

    in diameter of what, you break them in half?

    Explain more specifically what you are talking about in general, you never know it will be useful to someone.



    I see in your picture the cheapest simplest shaft and I don’t know why it is better than the axis proposed by the comrade above.

    I talked about the diameter of the cardan joints themselves, which are more powerful than those in the photo.

    The main point of my message is that I separate (in the post) the shaft and the hinges themselves, and as I understand it, you didn't understand :) That is, the loose hinge is changed or repaired, the shaft remains.

    well, now it's clear.

    I thought there was some kind of more sophisticated procedure, since I don't see much point in taking a new shaft as a donor for the old one)
