Drivetrain Components

OVERVIEW

Flange Yokes/Companion Flange

A companion flange, sometimes referred to as a hub, allows connection of a flange yoke to another type of connection, for proper torque transfer.
SLIP YOKES

The slip yoke assembly (pictured on the right) is what allows drive shafts and PTOs to flex or “slip” with their given application. The slip yoke is also essential for allowing u-joints to rotate properly with the drive shaft.
End Yokes

Are assembled in the driveshaft, which serves to connect the transmission with the differential.
CV Joints

Allow a drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used in front wheel drive vehicles, and many modern rear wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension typically use CV joints.
Bearing Caps

Bearing Caps are used as clamps to retain the bearings and attach the differential to the axle housing.
Differential Case

Differential Case are used in light and heavy truck applications, for both front and rear ends.
