Angles of deflection -elan using rotoflex couplings
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 3:43 pm
Hello,
As some may know, I'm completing some testing on improved rotoflex couplings using some improved materials/designs. To complete testing, I want to test the couplings at the full range of deflection that the doughnuts are subjected to in real world elan use prior to installing. Although this may vary between owners cars, can someone verify some angles of the driveshafts (i.e. difference in height from one coupling at diff to coupling at rotor) at ride height and at full droop to capture a full range of deflection for test. I know that full droop is extreme and not the norm unless elan is airborne or on a lift but still needs to be part of testing for longevity.
Thanks for any help and I appreciate this forum.
Thank you
David D.
