Needle Bearing (NB) Type
  • Designed with high quality, pre-lubricated, and sealed needle bearings
  • Ideal for applications up to 25° of angular misalignment and speeds up to 6,000 RPM
  • Available in sizes: 6, 8, 10 and 12 (Other sizes are quantity dependent) with your choice of round, hex, splined, or keyway bores
  • Boot retaining grooves are standard. (Boots are available for purchase separately.) 
  • Lubrication is required for optimal wear – boots and lubricant extend universal joint life

Notes

Notes 

 N/A
  • Static Breaking Torque is not recommended operating torque.
  • Square and hex bore measured across the flats.
  • Maximum operating angle for transmission of power is 25°.
  • For greater angular operation, use double universal joint. Join two universal joints back to back and connect with a short shaft. Attach universal joints to shaft by drilling and pinning.
  • Swing Diameter is the maximum diameter over bearings, clearance must be allowed.
