The spindle assembly comprises a splined spindle, sleeve-shaped flanged yokes slidably mounted on the opposite ends of the splined spindle respectively, and fitting yokes connected by trunnions to the flanged yokes respectively and each formed with a bore for receiving the end of the rotary shaft so as to be rotatable therewith only in the direction of rotation of the rotary shaft. The splined spindle is provided at each of its opposite ends with a stopper member engageable with the opposed end of the flanged yoke to retain the flanged yoke on the spindle. A sealing member in the form of bellows is provided between the flanged yokes.
