rag joint การใช้

• The ragged cords can be seen on the edge of this piece of rubber, hence the term " rag joint ".
• A "'rag joint "'refers to certain flexible joints ( flexure bearings ) found on automobiles and other machines.
• An older vehicle with loose steering or " play in the steering wheel " is often found to have a worn out rag joint.
• For example, the drive shafts of some sports cars replace cardan universal joints with an equivalent joint called a rag joint which works by bending rubberized fabric.
• To allow for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven components, drive shafts frequently incorporate one or more universal joints, jaw couplings, or rag joints, and sometimes a splined joint or prismatic joint.
• As rubber technology improved ( particularly for its resistance to spilled mineral oils ), it was possible to replace the leather by something longer-lasting . " Rag joints " were used on some American cars into the mid-1930s.
• One can then reach inside the cab and wiggle the steering wheel while watching the rag joint move without the input shaft moving; this condition may cause the vehicle to fail the vehicle inspection, and indicates that the worn part needs to be replaced.
