Universal joint shaft

Universal joint shaft are used to transmit torque from one shaft to another which are offset to each other. It is an ideal form of coupling two shafts when offset is unavoidable. Spline type universal joint is made from heat treated alloy steels for increased over load and reliability.
Precision machining of Universal joint shaft ensures optimum performance under severe load conditions. They must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase their inertia.
Universal joints play the important role of transmitting torque and rotational motion from one shaft to another. For transition of torque and rotational motion Universal joint shaft is necessary when axes of shafts are inclined to each other by some angle, which may constantly vary under working conditions.


To accommodate the infinite amount of applications they can go into Universal joints come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and configurations. Before selecting a universal joint one must always consult a professional.

Whenever motion needs to be transmitted, in that situation Universal joint is used commonly. The joint has two rods that are bend in any way by having a pair of hinges each located at 90° intervals. That means these rods are able to stay relatively still without affecting the rotation being transmitted through a ‘bend’ in the drive train.



Relying on a Universal Joint to allow this transmission of power places a great amount of pressure and wear on the joint. This is especially true where, despite the drive shaft turning at a constant speed, the output rod does not. Differing rod speeds are an unavoidable problem of a drive train, but when coupled with the fact that this joint is constantly rotating and adjusting to allow the two rods to continue to rotate, it can mean some serious wear.
