Publication number: 20230184296Abstract: The claimed invention is directed to a novel composite half shaft. More specifically, the claimed invention provides for the integration of a continuous velocity joint within the hollow tubular portion of the axle shaft, which permits for a longer lightweight composite hollow shaft. The use of the lightweight material over additional length results in an overall weight reduction. Additional benefits include reduced unsprung weight in vehicles, improved mileage for gas powered vehicles and increased range for electric vehicles. The use of composite materials in place of a solid or hollow metal axle bar results in improved noise, vibration and harshness (“NVH”) characteristics over conventional half shafts..Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventor: KAI-PETER BERNDT
