Which joint accommodates the angular movement?

  • A.A flexible coupling
  • B.A centre bearing, which supports the shaft at its midpoint and allows a small angular movement at that position
  • C.A Hooke or cardan universal joint
  • D.A splined sliding joint, which allows the shaft to lengthen and shorten as the axle moves through its travel

Answer: C

A cross and needle roller universal joint at each end allows the shaft to operate at an angle while transmitting the drive. The sliding spline accommodates the length change instead. Both features are needed on any shaft driving a live axle. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
