Half Yoke – Tata Magic N/M (Old Model) — Description
A Half Yoke in automotive driveline systems (like in Tata Magic N/M (Old Model)) is a propeller shaft yoke component that forms part of the universal joint / Cardan shaft assembly. It is used to connect the propeller shaft to a universal joint cross or another mating yoke, helping transmit torque while allowing for angular movement between rotating shafts.
Key features & purpose:
• Part of the drivetrain: The half yoke is typically attached to one end of the propeller shaft and mates with the universal joint cross, enabling torque transfer from the transmission to the rear axle.
• Allows flexibility: It accommodates slight misalignment between driveline components and helps the propeller shaft operate smoothly as the vehicle moves.
• Steel forged construction: Usually made from high-strength steel (often EN-8 grade) to withstand high torque loads and stress in commercial vehicle applications.
• Common in light commercial vehicles: Found in applications like Tata ACE, Tata Magic, etc., with specific cross size and pipe diameter to match the vehicle’s universal joint components.
Where it fits:
The half yoke attaches to the propeller shaft and connects with the universal joint cross assembly that then connects further to the differential or other shaft end.
If you want, I can also provide typical part numbers, dimensions (cross size/pipe diameter) specifically for the Magic N/M old-model half yoke.
