Axial Load Capabilities of Thompson Coupling vs U-joint, Marine Shaft
Axial Load Capabilities of Thompson Coupling vs U-joint, Marine Shaft
(OP)
Its long been my understanding that U-joints (and CV joints) were not that good at carrying large axial loads as might be found in the trust action produced by marine props transmitting their thrust forces to propel a vessel forward.
I ran across this Thompson Joint techonolgy and believe it is capabile of carrying much more 'prop thrust loading' than normal U-joints. Am I wrong??

It also puts all of the load and wear on only one needle in the bearing.
