SUPREME ENGINEERING
COMPETENCE
GKN Driveline is the leading automotive driveline technology and
systems engineer. With a comprehensive global footprint, we design,
develop, manufacture and integrate an extensive range of driveline
technologies for over 90% of the world’s car manufacturers.

A market leader in CV Joint Systems, all-wheel drive and electric

mobility, our technologies feature in everything from the smallest
ultra low-cost car to the most sophisticated and dynamic
premium vehicle.

Our capabilities span two-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, hybrid

or pure electric vehicle architectures.

GKN Motorsport specialise in the design and manufacture of

driveline products for all areas of motorsport, from clubman
through to professional teams.

decide upon who wins the race. This is true not only for the driver
but also for the driveline components.
ROLLED SPLINE BARSHAFTS
GKN’s super lightweight barshafts are individually designed and
manufactured to suit each customer’s requirements, from Formula Ford
and Clubman Racing right through to WRC and beyond.

Our designs are complemented by the extensive use of certified

aerospace materials and incorporate hollow, shot peened shafts offering
the ultimate in strength and weight and are available in a range of
finishes.

Splines are rolled up to a shoulder, which the CV joint can be pushed up

to, eliminating the need for spacers. This process of cold rolling helps
reduce the stress induced during manufacture in the critical area of spline
run out, therefore increasing strength/fatigue resistance.

GKN barshafts can be manufactured as a solid barshaft or a gun drilled

hollow barshaft, with bore diameters ranging from 12.5mm to 20mm.
CONSTANT VELOCITY SIDESHAFTS
GKN CV sideshafts are manufactured to the highest quality, they
are lightweighted and feature the latest GKN CV joint technology.

On the back of over 30 years of continuous

development of GKN Driveline products,
GKN Motorsport CV joints provide
significant weight reduction, cooler
running temperatures and enhanced
joint life and performance.
PROPSHAFTS
GKN’s unique experience in the design, manufacture and service of
propshafts has been fully exploited to produce high performance
motorsport shafts. All of them are tested on our own test rigs.

By using titanium instead of steel a significant weight reduction can

be achieved. Sophisticated diaphragm centre bearings and specialised
torsional couplings minimalise the transmission of vibration.

High performance universal joints are upgraded with special close

tolerance bearing designs, combined with advanced thrust bearings and
multi-lip seals. High-speed GKN constant velocity joints are developed to
overcome highest installation angles.

At rally and endurance events GKN high performance propshafts permit

higher speeds and more power without weight penalties.
CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINTS
GKN is the largest designer and manufacturer of driveline solutions in the
world, which enables GKN Motorsport to offer an unsurpassed range of
standard, lightened and easy motion constant velocity joints able to cope
with the most demanding applications.

Constant velocity plunging joints developed by GKN permit easy motion

on both wheel and differential applications.

Plunging joints are most often used as the inboard joint (transmission
side) on FWD vehicles and on the inboard and outboard of RWD and
AWD applications with independent suspension.

Some of the most popular CV joint sizes available are listed on the right
hand side. If the part you need is not listed please contact one of the GKN
Motorsport facilities who will be happy to discuss your requirements.

TRIPODE JOURNALS & HOUSINGS
Using the vast experience GKN have gained developing and
manufacturing tripode applications for OEM customers around the world,
GKN Motorsport can offer a wide range of tripode journals and bespoke
tripode housings to suit almost every situation.

Tripode joints offer extremely low plunging forces and greater efficiency
while operating at higher angles. Housings can be produced from
forgings or from solid material and can be designed to utilise a LÖBRO
style bolt pattern making CV to tripode switch simple, or alternatively
a “plug in” variant.

GREASES
Especially developed for use with GKN CV and tripode joints GKN
Motorsport greases help reduce power losses and increase durability, while
offering low friction and wear properties and a wide thermal operating range.

GKN Motorsport ball joint grease has ultra

high load carrying capacity and optimised
viscosity and is suitable for all fixed and
plunging (LÖBRO) CV joints.

The tripode grease is optimised for tripode

lubrication, has high scuffing resistance
but does not contain any solid additives
(which can reduce life by jamming the
needle bearings).

GKN has a rich history of involvement in motorsport stretching back nearly 75 years.

The story begins in the 1930’s with conventional driveline applications, through
racing in ever-more demanding environments such as rally and off-road
endurance racing, to the birth of the electric motorsport era.
