Part no.: 377377060

What is a universal joint?

Known by many names including the cross kit, Cardan Joint, and U-Joint, the universal joint is a key component in many mechanical systems. Its primary function is to allow for the transmission of rotational motion and torque between two shafts that are not in line with each other.

Key Features of a Universal Joint

• Shaft Misalignment Tolerance: The universal joint allows for deviations in the alignment of the shafts it connects, meaning the shafts do not have to be perfectly aligned.
• Angle Change Tolerance: The U-Joint can tolerate changes in the angle between the shafts.
• Torque Transmission: The universal joint is capable of transmitting rotational power and torque.

• Efficient Power Transmission: When transmitting torque, the U-Joint experiences minimal energy loss.

Choosing the Right Universal Joint for Your PTO Shaft

When selecting a universal joint for your PTO shaft, several parameters need to be considered. These include:

• Power and Torque Requirements: The U-Joint must be capable of handling the power and torque demands of the system.
• Shaft Size and Interface Type: The universal joint must fit the shaft size and interface type of the system.
• Angle Change Range: The U-Joint must be able to tolerate the range of angle changes in the system.
• Working Environment and Conditions: The universal joint must be suitable for the working environment and conditions of the system.
• Standards and Certification Requirements: The U-Joint must meet any standards and certification requirements for the system.

Structure of a Universal Joint

A universal joint is made up of several key components:

• Outer Yoke: This is the outer part of the joint that connects to the shafts.
• Inner Yoke: This is the inner part of the joint that connects to the cross.
• Pin: This part holds the inner yoke and cross together.
• Cross: This is the central part of the joint that allows for the transmission of motion and torque.
• Bearing Cups: These hold the cross in place and allow it to rotate.
• Seal: This protects the joint from dirt and moisture.
