Advantages Of Universal Joint Cross

The universal joint cross is a very important part of the car. It connects two connecting rods so that they can bend in almost any direction when rotating.

The advantage of a universal joint cross is to make the equipment transmission design simpler. The function of the universal joint is: The transmission shaft can transmit the power of the transmission (or transfer case) to the main engine in a certain angular range. The reduction gear in the transmission prevents damage to the transmission shaft components; Universal joints are divided into two types. Variable speed universal joint; that is, the commonly used cross-axis universal joint. During one revolution of the driving shaft, the rotational angular velocity of the driven shaft is not equal; To achieve constant speed rotation generally should be used in pairs, that is, two universal joints are installed at both ends of the transmission shaft to make the universal joints at both ends of the transmission shaft The forks are in the same plane.

Although there are many advantages of the universal joint cross, at that time, like most parts, it needs regular maintenance and inspection. The maintenance process is very troublesome, so maintenance-free bearings can save a lot of time and trouble.
