Introduction
Universal joints, or u-joints, are pivotal in transmitting power smoothly across different parts of a vehicle. At SHIUH JI CO., LTD., we take pride in manufacturing premium u-joints that enhance durability and performance, mirroring the high standards seen in the industry.
Advanced Features of Our U-Joints
- Nitrile Rubber Grease Seals: Our u-joints utilize purgeable nitrile rubber grease seals with a compressed double lip design, protecting against contaminants effectively.
- Greaseable Design: The grease fittings on our u-joints can be variably placed—on the cross body, bearing caps, the end of the cross, or the side of the joint—enhancing accessibility and functionality. This feature allows new grease to flush out contaminants and moisture, maintaining optimal performance.
The placement of grease fittings on universal joints can vary based on design and application needs, but here are some common locations:
- Cross Body: Often positioned directly on the body of the cross to allow easy access for lubrication, especially in driveline applications.
- Bearing Caps: Some designs feature fittings on the caps to facilitate direct lubrication into the roller bearings.
- End of the Cross: Placed at the ends for better reach and effectiveness in distributing grease throughout the joint.
- Side of the Joint: For easier access in tight spaces, especially in automotive applications where components are closely packed.
These placements are designed to maximize ease of maintenance and ensure that grease effectively reaches all necessary areas of the joint.
- Case-Hardened Bearing Cup: Employing a meticulous process, the bearing cups of our u-joints are cold-forged, case-hardened, and precision-ground to achieve superior durability and performance.
- Steel Cross: The steel crosses in our u-joints are forged and carburized heat-treated, enhancing their strength and resistance to wear.
- Needle Bearing: Precision-ground needle bearings ensure ideal load-carrying capabilities, maximizing efficiency in power transmission.
- Radial Design: The radial design promotes 360° lubricant distribution, ensuring all bearing surfaces are adequately lubricated to minimize wear and tear.
