Cardan shaft (drive shaft, propeller shaft, prop shaft) is a mechanical segment for transmitting torque and revolution, normally used to interface different segments of a drive train that can't be associated directly in view of separation or the need to take into consideration relative development between them.
In cars, you can see it for the most part in RWD design as it transmits the torque to differential originating from transmission framework and associated with the assistance of general joint.
On the two sides, it has general joint to interface the transmission framework with differential and in focus it has splines.
In FWD setup vehicles, for the most part half shafts are utilized, which are like drive shafts and interfaces transmission framework directly to the wheel. As they are half in size in contrast with drive shafts additionally one shaft is utilized for one wheel, it is called as half shaft. To transmit torque to another wheel, another pole is utilized.
It has splines at the two closures and widespread joint is in the middle.
