Abstract
An adjustable length telescoping radial free motion driveline including a shaft slidable within a sleeve to slide axially with respect to each other which allows the driveline to elongate and shorten while still maintaining a fixed radial alignment. The shaft and mating sleeve are configured to allow for a fixed amount of radial motion between the shaft and sleeve that can be used by the installer to compensate for any misalignment between the two fixtures that the driveline is connected between. In one embodiment the shafting is square and the other the shafting is splined.
