What is the function of universal joint in vehicle? In the simplest terms , universal joints are used to transmit mechanical power between two shafts when their axes are at an angle to each other. Since it helps in torque transmission between shafts are varying angles, it's called a positive mechanical joint.( Cardan Shaft Parts )Let's take an example of an application. In RWD vehicles, to transmit power from engine to differential, two universal joints are used A universal joint has three basic parts- two yokes and a cross. The yokes are connected to this cross and the cross enables movement of the two shafts and adjusts itself with varying angles. Some of the applications are Driveshafts, ( CardanShaft Supplier ) propeller shafts, Stone crushers, Tapping machinery, Centrifugal blowers, Centrifugal fans and centrifugal pumps, Belt conveyors, Control mechanisms, Marine equipments, Metal forming machinery Sockets.
