Universal joints, also known as U-joints, are mechanical components that allow rotating shafts to transmit power at various angles. They are essential in many applications, from automotive drivetrains to industrial machinery. Our universal joints are engineered for durability, precision, and high performance, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
| Model | Bore Diameter (mm) | Max Torque (Nm) | Max Operating Angle (°) | Weight (kg) | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UJ-100 | 10 | 50 | 45 | 0.5 | Stainless Steel |
| UJ-200 | 20 | 150 | 40 | 1.2 | Carbon Steel |
| UJ-300 | 30 | 300 | 35 | 2.5 | Alloy Steel |
| UJ-400 | 40 | 500 | 30 | 4.0 | Titanium Alloy |
Universal joints are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, marine, and manufacturing. Common applications include drive shafts in vehicles, propeller systems in boats, and machinery requiring flexible power transmission.
What is the maximum angle a universal joint can operate at?
The maximum operating angle varies by model, typically ranging from 30° to 45°. Exceeding this angle can cause increased wear and failure.
How often should universal joints be lubricated?
Lubrication intervals depend on usage conditions. For high-load applications, lubricate every 500 hours of operation; for standard use, every 1000 hours is sufficient.
Can universal joints be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, certain models with heat-resistant materials and coatings can operate in temperatures up to 200°C. Always check the product specifications for temperature ratings.
What are the signs of a failing universal joint?
Common signs include unusual noises (e.g., clicking or clunking), vibration during operation, and visible wear or play in the joint. Regular inspection is recommended.
Are custom universal joints available for specific applications?
Yes, we offer customization for bore size, torque capacity, and materials to meet unique requirements. Contact our engineering team for details.
How do I install a universal joint properly?
Ensure shafts are aligned within allowable angles, use appropriate fasteners, and follow torque specifications. Misalignment can lead to premature failure.
What maintenance is required for universal joints?
Routine maintenance includes lubrication, inspection for wear, and checking for proper alignment. Replace joints if excessive play or damage is detected.
Can universal joints handle bidirectional rotation?
Yes, most universal joints are designed for bidirectional rotation, but always verify with the product data sheet to ensure compatibility.
