Talk:Constant-velocity joint

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page should include an entry on the Thompson Coupling, a constant velocity variety of universal joint which, unlike the ball-bearing constant velocity joint, can withstand an axial load such as experienced by a helicopter prop. Unlike the Hooke's type universal joint which has a sinusoidal output, the Thompson coupling is a true constant velocity joint. Reference: cvcoupling.com - Simon Purser

This page should not (just) give so much background about the automotive application, this is just an application and this article is about the CV joint itself. It should first explain how the thing works. This does not get immediately clear from the pictures without detailed descriptions.

I don't know a single thing about this subject, but is listing a specific instance of implementation in the introduction paragraph good form? Digitalsushi 12:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
