Universal Joint

When it comes to maintaining the good balance of your vehicle’s transmission, there is one part that demands a must of regular inspection, and that is the universal joint. The universal joint, also known as cross joint, is the auto part that serves as connection of the drive shaft to the transmission output shaft and the differential pinion gear shaft. Perfectly smooth rotation is required, in order to handle the constantly changing angles of the rear axle caused by the vertical movement of uneven surfaces transmitted through the suspension system. In other words, a universal joint efficiently transmits power through both fixed and fluctuating angles. With this vital purpose of the universal joint, it a must for any car owner to only use the finest offering in the market which is GMB Universal Joint.

STRUCTURE

A universal joint has four needle roller bearings that provide the strength and life which is most important and both the axes of the spider are inserted into two yokes. In the bearing, a seal is located to prevent dust, water, etc.from ingress and to prevent grease egress. For heavy duty vehicles with high torque transmission, such as large size vehicles and various industrial machine vehicles, a wing type (3 kinds: block, wing, delta) is used. Bolt-fastening mechanism and key-way are incorporated to the bearing and a precise circle is on its back. By receiving the torque through the key-way, even if a bolt is loosely tightened, the shearing stress does not apply to the bolt.
