Compact Constant Velocity Joint

In this post, we provide a summary of the project work done this semester to produce the Compact Constant Velocity (CCV) Joint. As we have already detailed in the previous posts, the CCV Joint consists …

Constant Velocity Joint Improvements   Greetings!   Our initial prototype is shown below in Figure 1.   Figure 1. Assembly Prototype of the Compact Constant Velocity (CCV) Joint   The joint works well to demonstrate …

Now that we’ve gotten a few prototypes printed, we set off towards optimizing that design to create a more functional part.  Below are two of our initial prototype builds that have been highlighted in previous blog …

Some of the iterations of our prototype builds can be seen below. The most current prototype, seen below, was an improvement upon our previous models in that it had clearances of 0.5 mm between the …

Hello, This week our group focused on getting the internal portion of our constant velocity joint to print as an assembly.  We found that we needed to increase the amount of clearance we were working …

Hello everyone, In order to 3D print the constant velocity joint we’re designing, we first need to generate CAD files that can be exported as STL files. Below is the image from the original patent …

Hello and welcome to the 3D Printed CV Joint blog, Constant Velocity (CV) joints allow for two shafts to be jointed at an angle while maintaining an output angular velocity equal to that of the …
