4 Grooved Bearing Universal Joint

Product Item:HXST-1800

Model: 4 Grooved Bearing Universal Joint

Grooved Bearings: The presence of four grooved bearings or bushings helps reduce friction and wear by providing a low-friction interface between the rotating components

Lubrication: Proper lubrication of the grooved bearings is crucial for smooth operation and to prevent excessive wear. Some joints may require periodic greasing or have sealed lubrication systems

Application: 4-grooved bearing universal joints are commonly used in various applications, including automotive drivelines, industrial machinery, marine equipment, agricultural machinery, and more

Description

A 4-grooved bearing universal joint is a specific type of mechanical joint used to transmit rotational motion between two shafts that are not aligned with each other. Here's an explanation of its components:

Grooved Bearings: The grooved bearings, also known as needle bearings or roller bearings, are cylindrical components with grooves or slots cut into them. These grooves allow for flexibility and axial movement within the joint.
The 4-grooved bearing universal joint operates by connecting two shafts at an angle to each other while allowing for angular misalignment and axial movement. The grooved bearings are placed at each connection point, typically four in total, enabling smooth rotational movement between the shafts.

This type of universal joint is commonly used in various applications where flexibility, reliability, and efficient power transmission are required, such as automotive drivetrains, industrial machinery, and power transmission systems.

Proper lubrication and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the 4-grooved bearing universal joint. Additionally, it's important to consider the load capacity and operating conditions when selecting a suitable size and material for the universal joint to meet the specific requirements of the application
