pot joint, fixed joint, plunging joint Explanation: Pls note the terms are BE. The plunging joint (slip joint AE) is a shaft joint used to balance length. The pot joint is a shaft joint which permits an axial movement of the driving shaft part within a cylindrical joint shell. Oh, btw, these terms are used in motor-vehicle engineering. |
