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.
