constant-velocity
No acceleration present
Constant-velocity describes motion or mechanisms that maintain uniform speed.
A constant-velocity joint (CV joint) in automotive engineering transmits rotational power through a variable angle while keeping output speed steady—essential for front-wheel-drive vehicles where the axle must flex with suspension movement.
The clicking noise suggested a worn constant-velocity joint.
