New Technology

New Technology - SX

The new countertrack™ joint (fixed joint) uses the principle of “opposed tracks“ for significant packaging reduction and efficiency improvement and combines this with a specific track shape profile in longitudinal direction to allow angles of 50 degrees and more. This breakthrough technology sets the new benchmark for constant velocity joints on the outboard side.

New Technology - SC

The crosstrack™ joint (plunging joint), as a new addition to GKN Driveline’s plunging joint portfolio, was developed for improved NVH. This shudderless joint combines the premium performance of tripod plunging joints in terms of small plunging force with the premium performance of ball plunging joints in terms of reduced backlash.

New Technology – SIO Ballspline

The SIO joint for inboard use is based in the “opposed track principle“ to provide high performance in smallest packaging with optimised joint efficiency. Together with the ballspline as plunging unit, it represents a premium solution for extreme plunge angle requirements and high installation angles, as for instance needed for SUV vehicles.
