Abstract
A power transmission device comprises a propeller shaft (PS) and a rear axle device (AR) that is linked and transmits rotational drive force. In the structure linking the propeller shaft and the rear axle device, a first mark indicating the direction of rotational imbalance in the propeller shaft is provided to the propeller shaft, a second mark is provided to a companion flange (30) linked to the propeller shaft in the rotation transmission device, for indicating the direction of rotational imbalance in the companion flange (30), and the propeller shaft and the companion flange are linked on the basis of the first and second marks.
Claims5
A linking structure for a power transmission device, comprising:
- a propeller shaft that transmits rotational drive force and a rotation transmission device that is linked to the propeller shaft and transmits rotational drive force, said linking structure linking said propeller shaft and said rotation transmission device;
- wherein a first mark is provided to the propeller shaft for indicating a rotational imbalance direction in the propeller shaft;
- a second mark is provided to a companion flange, that is linked to the propeller shaft in the rotation transmission device, for indicating a rotational imbalance direction in the companion flange;
- and
- the propeller shaft and the companion flange are linked on a basis of the first and second marks;
- and
- the first mark is provided in a direction in which an unbalanced rotational mass of the propeller shaft becomes lighter;
- and
- the second mark is provided in a direction in which an unbalanced rotational mass of the companion flange becomes heavier;
- and
- the propeller shaft and the companion flange are linked such that the first and second marks are as close together as possible.
