Universal Joint
Malaysia, Selangor, KL, Petaling Jaya
Universal Joint A universal joint is a mechanical coupling that allows the transmission of rotary motion between two shafts that are not in a straight line with each other. It compensates for angular misalignment between the shafts and enables smooth power transmission. The universal joint consists of a pair of hinges or fork shapes yokes oriented at 90° to one another and connected by a cross shaft. These joints are commonly used for connecting line shafts, drive shafts, conveyors and most types of rotating machinery to a prime mover.

FAQ
Q: What are the main types of universal joints?
-
The two main types of universal joints are plain or single U-joints and constant velocity (CV) joints. CV joints are often used in applications where a smoother and constant velocity transmission is required.
Q: Where are constant velocity (CV) joints typically used?
-
CV joints are commonly used in automotive applications, especially in front-wheel-drive vehicles, to maintain a constant velocity and reduce vibration.
Q: Where are universal joints commonly used?
-
Universal joints find widespread use in automotive drivetrains, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, marine systems, and various applications where shafts need to transmit motion at non-aligned angles.
