ABSTRACT:
A power transmission system which facilitates positioning of gaskets to ensure their sealing performance. The power transmission system includes a constant velocity universal joint provided with an inner ring having a plurality of track grooves formed on its outer periphery and an outer ring having a plurality of track grooves formed on its inner periphery. The inner ring is disposed on the side of the inner periphery of the outer ring, wherein balls are accommodated within ball tracks formed with the track grooves of the inner and outer rings and retained by a cage. The power transmission system further includes a first shaft fitted into the inner ring to enable torque transmission, a boot with an adapter attached to the first shaft and an end portion of the outer ring to seal the constant velocity universal joint, a second shaft coupled to the outer ring with bolts, and an end plate disposed between a flange of the second shaft and the other end portion of the outer ring to seal the constant velocity universal joint. The power transmission system is configured such that gaskets are adhered with adhesive sheets to the adapter and the end plate which are attacked to the ends of the outer ring.
