Single precision Universal Joint with needle roller bearings
Hubs made from Carbon Steel and supplied with finished plain bores for ease of fitting
Bearings are high quality sealed needle roller units which are lubricated for life

Only angular misalignment can be accommodated. If both angular and parallel misalignments are present then a double bearing joint should be used.

Miniature Universal Joints - Lenze

Used for connecting a wide range of equipment where angular misalignment above 5 degrees is expected. They are rugged and compact and have industry proven reliability. Applications include connecting line shafts, drive shafts, conveyors and most types of rotating machinery to a prime mover. The Plain Bearing Joints have a maximum speed of 1000rpm with an operating angle of 3° to 45° and the Needle Roller Bearing Joints have a maximum speed of 4000rpm with an operating angle of 5° to 45°. Operation is smooth and silent. Note that the plain bearing types require regular lubrication to ensure a long life.,Gaiters are recommended for most applications, particulary where no other safety guarding is provided, and can be found in the following range in this section.
