New GKN technologies from Euro Car Parts
Countertrack (SX) Joints
GKN’s Countertrack SX joints use an S-shaped track profile and counter-running ball tracks. The innovative design manages to reduce internal friction and heat in a smaller form factor, simultaneously increasing maximum torque transmission and possible deflection angle.
Ballspline Technology
To fulfil the competing demands placed on SUV suspension systems for on-road and off-road vehicles, engineers at GKN Automotive developed Ballspline technology – a successful solution quickly adopted by both Land Rover and Volvo. Driveshafts with Ballspline technology match the OE driveshaft while incorporating ball-bearing slide compensation. Using a high-precision linear motion bearing, the Ballspline plunge unit permits zero-backlash axial displacement while transmitting torque, bringing high performance in a compact size with excellent stability and accuracy during acceleration, deceleration and at high speeds.
Premium Propshafts
To transmit torque effectively, a propshaft must rotate with minimum vibration and adapt to the angles and spacing between the transmission and axle quickly and smoothly. Available from ECP, GKN Automotive’s propshaft range includes a variety of constant velocity joints that combine Ballspline and SX Countertrack joint technologies and several highly developed pipe materials to match specific application demands.
