6.2.6 Checking the differential angle of the front faces of the connecting flange (with W
arrangement)
1. Checking the difference in joint angle between the faces of the
connecting flanges:
Speed [min
-
1
]
Max. differential angle [°]
< 1500 0.5
> 1500 on request
Tab. 6.4: Permissible differential angle (with W arrangement)
2. In case of deviation: Align connecting flange with alignment
tips.
6.2.7 Bolting together the universal joint shaft and the connecting flange
 Check that the contact surface of the bolts and nuts are bare
metal, clean, flat, burr-free, and at a right angle to the hole.
 During assembly of the universal joint shaft, make sure that
the zero markings (N) are on a single plane
(Fig. 6.5, page 44).
 With several moving parts, make sure that the components
are machted marked, so they cannot be confused.
 Balancing weights may not be removed or shifted.
DANGER
While working on the universal joint shaft of vehicles, severe
injuries can result if the vehicle starts to move!
 Secure vehicle against starting up/moving.
Standard designs of the universal joint shaft flange are self-
centering thanks to advance and rebound.
 Begin installation with the input side connecting flange.
If as a result of inexact position of the holes there are difficulties
during installation:
 Do not re-bore holes or enlarge them in order to prevent an
impermissibly high area pressure and thus a possible failure
of the connection.
 Replace flawed part.
