This story was originally published online December 14, 2017, and has been edited and reformatted by Tim Bernsau. Building a hot rod means working all the angles, and there are plenty of angles to ...

Why do we have to think about these angles at all? We wouldn't if the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and pinion all shared the same centerline. As it is, these components are never on the same ...

Driveshafts do a big job in our Fords, Mercs, and Lincolns. They take a powertrain's rotary motion and carry it to the differential and drive axles. This is not an easy task. Not only must a ...

Driveshafts and axleshafts transmit power farther down your drivetrain. In both cases, this path is not a fixed one. The driveshaft changes angle based on suspension movement, and the path of power ...

Resolver-to-digital converters (RDCs) are signal conditioning circuits that are used to obtain a digital representation of the angle of a rotating shaft. This angle estimate is used in servo ...

They're lightweight with straightness and lateral stiffness that boost stability at higher speeds. Line shafts, also known jackshafts and torque tubes, span long distances to connect other power ...
