Universal Joints

Overview

A universal joint typically consists of a cross-shaped component (also called a "spider") that connects two yoke-like arms at each end of the shaft.

Universal joints are essential components in mechanical systems that facilitate the transmission of power between shafts at misaligned angles. They provide both flexibility and reliability by accommodating angular misalignment, ensuring smooth operation and efficient power transfer in a range of applications, from automotive powertrains to industrial machinery.

Features

Angular Misalignment

Designed to accommodate angular misalignment between shafts, allowing them to transmit power smoothly even when the shafts are not perfectly aligned.

Durability

Designed to withstand high levels of stress, vibration and torque, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding driving conditions or heavy-duty applications.

Corrosion Resistance

Manufactured with materials or coatings that resist corrosion, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environments such as exposure to moisture, road salt and extreme temperatures.

High Torque Transmission

Capable of transmitting high levels of torque, which is essential for power transmission in automotive systems such as powertrains and suspension components.

Applications

Drivetrain Systems

Used in the drivetrain to transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing for smooth rotation even when the driveshafts are at different angles.

CV (Constant Velocity) Axles

Used in front-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles, CV axles transmit power to the wheels while absorbing the up-and-down motion of the suspension.

Transmission Systems

Connects the various components of the transmission system, allowing rotational power to be transmitted between shafts at non-aligned angles.

Suspension Component

Used in suspension links to transmit motion between different parts of the suspension system, particularly in independent and multi-link suspensions.
