universal joint 5-438X

Normally we are using 20Cr or 20CrMnTi gear steel, as Chinese standarded alloy steel for the cross spider of our universal joint cross assembly and the glove bearing is also based on such material. Also we can make the u-joint as you requested material when the quantity is acceptable for production lot. For the needle roller, the material will be GCr15 bearing steel. High-quality materials are used for our accessarries such snap ring, NBR seal rings, straight or jointed hydraulic grease nipples, and general purpose lithium base grease for automobile.

A universal joint is fitted between the driveshaft and the differential axle to transmit power through the axis of rotation. Perfectly smooth rotation is required, in order to handle the constantly changing angles of the rear axle caused by the vertical movement of uneven surfaces transmitted through the suspension system. In other words, a universal joint efficiently transmits power through both fixed and fluctuating angles. Moreover, since the universal joint is lightweight and compact with superior durability, it has proved to be a safe and positive product for power transfer in Automotive and Industrial applications. In recent years, we have been working to develop and produce the press type bearing which is aimed at improvement in intensity and durability and reduces cost further.
