About: Torque tube

An Entity of Type: Use100947128, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A torque tube system is a power transmission and braking technology that involves a stationary housing around the drive shaft, often used in automobiles with a front engine and rear drive. The torque tube consists of a large diameter stationary housing between the transmission and rear end that fully encloses a rotating tubular steel or small-diameter solid drive shaft (known colloquially in the U.S. as a "rope drive") that transmits the power of the engine to a regular or limited-slip differential. The purpose of a torque tube is to hold the rear end in place during acceleration and braking. Otherwise, the axle housing would suffer axle wrap, such that the front of the differential would lift up excessively during acceleration and sink down during braking. Its use is not as widespread in

dbo:abstract
  • El sistema de transmisión por tubo de empuje, -torque tube, en inglés- también llamado tubo de par, tubo central o puente basculante, es un sistema de transmisión mecánica. En automoción se utiliza para trasmitir potencia desde un motor situado en la parte delantera del vehículo a un eje rígido trasero motriz. Coincide con el sistema de Hotchkiss ​ -mayoritario a lo largo del siglo XX- en emplear un eje de transmisión (también llamado árbol de transmisión o "cardán" en los países de habla hispana) para trasladar el movimiento giratorio del cigüeñal de un motor situado longitudinalmente hasta un diferencial integrado en el puente rígido trasero. De este modo el árbol de transmisión necesariamente debe seguir el recorrido de la suspensión, formando parte junto con el diferencial del peso no suspendido del vehículo en contraposición a los ejes motrices con suspensión independiente o eje De Dion, en los que la transmisión va fijada al chasis, formando parte del peso suspendido.

Otherwise, the axle housing would suffer axle wrap, such that the front of the differential would lift up excessively during acceleration and sink down during braking. Its use is not as widespread in modern automobiles as is the Hotchkiss drive, which holds the rear end in place and prevents it from flipping up or down, during acceleration and braking, by anchoring the axle housings to the leaf springs using spring perches.
