Shaft coupling is easy
Backlash-free simplified shaft clamp design couplings feature universal constructive elements that are independent of shaft size
Other joints in the series include hardened pin types, which need to be well lubricated in operation.
They should be fitted with PVC rubber covers filled with grease.
In some applications high-speed and angle-forced oil lubrication may be needed.
Quick release needle roller universal joints have recently been added to the range.
They have a forged centre cross with hard ground ends for needle bearings.
These can also be used with protective rubber covers.
Rubber covers are made from oil resisting synthetic elasticate rubber, making them resilient to water and weather.
There is also a range of hand-operated joints, offering low cost and efficiency at low speeds.
Both steel and stainless steel models are available in single and double versions.
