Help with Universal Joints specifications:
Joint Type
Back to Top
Joint Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Single | Has 1 joint. Attach shafts by cross-pinning. Allows for operating angles up to approximately 45 degrees. | ||
Double | Has 2 joints. Attach shafts by cross-pinning. Permits operating angles up to 70 degrees. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Hub Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Solid | A solid hub has not been machined. (There is no hole). | ||
Bored Hub - Round | The hole shape is round. | ||
Bored Hub - Keyed | Has keyways for inserting keys to stop rotation of the universal joint on the shafts. | ||
Bored Hub - Hex | A hex shaped bore hole. | ||
Bored Hub - Splined | Longitudinal grooves on the inside of the bore. | ||
Bored Hub - Square | The bore hole is square in shape. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Nominal Bore: | The nominal value of the bore is the diameter of the bore hole not including tolerances. This value is measured in units of inches. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Hub Outer Diameter: | Diameters For Splined and HEX type bores are measured across the flats. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Operating Angle: | The operating angle provides a measure of angular flexibility. Use of a double universal joint will provide a larger operating angle than a single universal joint. Operating angle is measured in units of degrees. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Maximum Torque: | The maximum allowable torque that one can sustain. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Maximum Speed: | The maximum allowable shaft speed recommended for use with a particular Universal Joint. The value is measured in units of RPM. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Features

Your choices are... | |||
Set Screws | A screw used to position the universal joint preventing lateral movement or rotation. | ||
Bearing Inserts | Bearings are replaceable. | ||
Needle Bearing | The joint has needle bearings instead of bushings. Good for operation at high speeds and operating angles of approximately 25 degrees. | ||
Self Lubricating | Material or construction allows for self-lubrication, minimizing maintenance. | ||
Corrosion Resistant | Made of a material that will not rust or decay due to environmental conditions. | ||
Sanitary Application | Designed for use in Food Processing Plants and in other applications where sanitation is an issue. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Material: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Alloy Steel | Used in high torque applications. | ||
Stainless Steel | Stainless Steel is a material that can be used in high torque applications as well as being corrosion resistant such that it will not rust or decay due to environmental conditions. | ||
Plastic | Plastic is magnetically and electrically insulating as well as a corrosion resistant material such that it will not rust or decay due to environmental conditions. | ||
