Abstract:

Universal joint in a rigid rod that allows the rod to bend in any direction, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. Due to pin (fork) wear occurs, at the mating surface of the universal coupling. It becomes noisy when rotate at high speed. Our main aim is to replace traditional single joint universal coupling with modern one which having a high strength to withstand desired motion, reduce weight& cost and saving time during assembly of components. It is used in Automobile industry, Food packing machinery, pharma machinery and heavy machinery where Power Torque is to be transmitted between misalign axis.
