driving shaft, propeller shaft, Cardan shaft
Gerolamo Cardano.
The total slip on the cardan shaft is the difference in rotational speed between the driving and driven ends of the shaft, usually expressed as a percentage of the driving speed. This slip is necessary for the shaft to accommodate the misalignment between the driving and driven components it connects. It is important to keep the slip within acceptable limits to prevent excessive wear and vibration in the system.
The cardan shaft is meant to take misalignment and to operate at higher degree. But, if it is operated below 1 degree, the movement of needle rollers or the rollers in the bearing cups may not accrue resulting in brenilling. Sardeshpande. Mumbai. anandsardesh@gmail.com
There is only one, it is in the middle of the double cardan joint on the transfer case side. It is very hard to find with out removing the drive shaft.
Depending of the speed and also the technology of the cardan. Generally, you have to build with a 3° angle approximatly. The reason is to avoid to have the same needle in contact with the force. Like that, you spread the force on twice the angle installed. In industrial shaft Spicer GWB, the construction make the needles turn without rolling, thanks to a ring. I want to precise that the 3° angle is just an indicated value, not a close value (You are not obliged to build this angle with a laser alignement! If it is 3,01° or 3,2 or 3,9 OK.

It is a snap ring or retaining ring in the shape of a C, used to keep something like a gear or lever from coming off a shaft, it fits into a groove in the shaft.
A propeller shaft transmits power from the engine to the propeller for propulsion in boats or aircraft. It consists of a long, straight shaft with universal joints that allow it to transfer torque while adapting to changes in angle or alignment between the engine and the propeller. As the engine turns the shaft, the propeller spins and generates thrust to move the vehicle forward.
