  • Constant-velocity transmission, particularly for connecting the drive motor to the driven wheels of a motorized railway vehicle
    Patent number: 4674410
    Abstract: A constant-velocity transmission, particularly for connecting the drive motor to the driving axle of a motorized railway vehicle, comprises two hollow coaxial shafts interconnected by a resilient coupling and provided with respective end flanges articulated, through two groups of four connecting rods, to respective flanges of a hollow driven shaft and a hollow driving shaft coupled for rotation with the axle. The transmission allows considerable relative movements, both radial and axial, between the driving and driven shafts without the use of members which require lubrication.
