Product Features
Universal Joint
- Robust design for higher load capability
- Improved sealing through multi lip seals
- Polyamide thrust washer for better thrust load capability and improved life of cross & bearing cup
- Environment friendly synthetic lithium-based grease for longer life
Sliding Joint
- Involute profile spline guarantees optimized performance
- Polyamide coated sliding joint outer and inner surfaces for smooth Sliding & better wear resistance property.
- Double lip seal with metallic dust cover for improved sealing
- Standard sliding length ranges from 70mm to 180 mm
Mounting Yoke
- SAE-Mounting flanges
- 4-hole mounting flange with x-serration (ISO 12667/ ISO8667)
- High torque to weight ratio
- Optimum weight of the forgings
- Higher deflection angle (up to 44°) for inter axle shaft applications available
The X-serrated flange is the preferred flange because of its Techno-Commercial advantages including the following:
- International standardization (ISO)
- Fewer variants
- Form fitting, highest torque transfer efficiency
- Clearly defined mounting position
- Less time required for assembly
- Positive drive
- Simplified bolting
Center Bearing Assembly
- Robust center bearing kit
- Honeycomb design rubber housing available for
1. Dampening and isolation
2. Cushioning axial movements
3. Cushioning angular movements and positions - Deep groove ball bearings with 2RSR (double sealing) and service free grease to keep out dirt and moisture
- Center bearing dust cover provided to prevent water and dust from entering
