CV Axle

Definition of CV Axle as it relates to Automotive, Automotive Transmissions

A CV axle, short for Constant Velocity axle, is a key component in automotive transmissions, particularly in front-wheel drive vehicles. It is a type of axle shaft that can transmit power through a varying angle, at constant rotational speed, without an increase in friction or strain. This allows the wheels to maintain consistent velocity while turning, providing smooth and efficient operation. CV axles are designed with flexibility and durability in mind, allowing them to accommodate the stresses of automotive use and provide reliable performance over time.
