Subject field(s)
  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Machine Shafts, Journals and Swivels
CONT

This axle is not supported by bearings at either end. As the three-quarter floating axle has only one bearing at the outer end, it still takes some binding stresses. It, therefore, is not quite the full-floating type.

OBS

three-quarter floating axle: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)

OBS

arbre trois-quarts flottant; arbre trois-quarts porteur : termes uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).
