Abstract: As a stopper for restricting movement of a rotary shaft 31 of a transmission device 3 and a shaft part 41 of a first drive-side joint member J11 in a direction of approaching each other, a stopper part 5 is formed separately from the shaft part 41 and a yoke body part 42 of the first drive-side joint member so that the stopper function of the first drive-side joint member J11 is guaranteed by the separately-formed stopper part 5 in the present invention. With this configuration, a change in the gravity center position of the first drive-side joint member caused due to build-up processing on the shaft part or the yoke body part is suppressed. It is possible to restrict relative movement of the first drive-side joint member and the rotary shaft while ensuring adequate machining for formation of a shaft-part-side seal surface on the first drive-side joint member.

Abstract: A propeller shaft (1) that is a power transmission shaft has a shaft member (2) as a tubular body made of iron-based metal and a balance weight (3) made of iron-based metal and welded to an outer peripheral surface of this shaft member (2). At least a part of the balance weight (3) of the propeller shaft (1) is covered with a sacrificial metal coating (4) made of sacrificial corrosion prevention material that contains metal whose ionization tendency is higher than that of metal forming the shaft member (2). With this, it is possible to suppress local progression of corrosion at a periphery of the balance weight (3) and improve durability of the propeller shaft (1).

Abstract: A water-impermeable cover includes an opening part extending toward an opening part of a holding ring of a stub shaft of a propeller shaft, and is disposed to face the opening part of the holding ring. The water-impermeable cover is fixed at a position to face the opening part of the holding ring of the stub shaft, and the opening part of the water-impermeable cover extends to approach the opening part of the holding ring: therefore, even if muddy water etc. scatters obliquely toward the opening part of the holding ring, the risk of muddy water etc. entering the opening part of the holding ring is reduced, and as a result, also the risk of muddy water etc. entering an interior of a center bearing is reduced.

Abstract: A propeller shaft (PS) has a balance piece (9) on the outer peripheral side of a stub shaft body section (31) of a stub shaft (3), which is axially separated from both spline sections (25, 34), which are spline fitting sections. Due to this configuration, changes in the gap in both spline sections (25, 34) when the balance piece (9) is welded are minimized, and the occurrence of new rotational imbalance can be minimized. As a result, rotational imbalance in the propeller shaft (PS) due to the balance piece (9) can be corrected appropriately and easily.

Abstract: The first constant-velocity joint has an inner ring member, an outer ring member housing the inner ring member, and balls, which are installed in raceway grooves formed at prescribed intervals in a circumferential direction in the outer ring member and which extend along an axial direction, for transmitting rotational torque between the inner ring member and the outer ring member. Furthermore, the constant-velocity joint is formed so that one of the inner ring member and the outer ring member connects to an attaching member installed to a vehicle side with a spline, and so that the other of them connects to a power transmission shaft. In outside wall of the outer ring member, an engagement groove is formed so as to engage with an engagement member applied to connection or release thereof in a range avoiding positions corresponding to the raceway grooves in an axial direction or a circumferential direction.
