max. 0.9 - 648 Nm | Type UJ
OEP Couplings
Type UJ, Universal Joints
Most shaft couplings accommodate only very small angular misalignment that might unintentionally result form small mounting errors or thermal expansion. Universal joints, on the other hand, are used as a linkage between two intentionally misaligned shafts, with angular misalignment of up to 45 degrees.
OEP Couplings' type UJ universal joint consists of precision CNC-machined components, turned from bar, No cheap castings or powdered metal components are used, resulting in a stronger joint with zero backlash. High-strength alloys like 17-4 stainless and 7075 aircraft aluminum are used, with special low-friction coatings, Strength and service life are enhanced by optimizing the geometry of the subcomponents--the yoke's shape is uniquely designed to maximize strength and minimize stress concentration.
