Wide-angle universal joint

Key Design Features:

1. External Clip Retention Design

• Quick-Install External Circlips – Bearing caps secured by external snap rings for rapid assembly and disassembly

• Visual Inspection Capability – External clip position easily verified without disassembly

• Tool-Free Maintenance – Standard circlip pliers enable fast bearing replacement in the field

• Secure Retention – High-tension spring steel clips prevent cap loosening under vibration

2. Superior Torque Transmission

• Precision-ground cross journal with hardened bearing surfaces (HRC 58-62)

• Needle roller bearings with high load capacity and low friction

• Operating angles up to 25°-30° (single joint), 40°+ with double joint configuration

3. Industrial-Grade Durability

• Cross and bearing caps manufactured from 20CrMnTi or 20Cr alloy steel

• Carburizing and hardening heat treatment for wear resistance

• Sealed grease lubrication with multi-lip nitrile rubber seals

• Corrosion-resistant coating options: black oxide, zinc plating, or phosphating

4. Versatile Configuration Options

• Single Joint – For simple angular misalignment

• Double Joint – For parallel offset or high-angle applications

• Telescopic Shaft Integration – With splined slip yoke for length adjustment

• Flange or Welded Yoke Ends – Multiple connection options available
