Customization Options For Belden Universal Joints
Belden Universal designs universal joints for even the most complex applications. Read on to see how customization can help you overcome U-joint performance challenges.
Adjusted Yoke Profiles
Modifications to the yoke’s ear profile can greatly increase the joint’s torque capacity or result in higher operational angles. Heat treating the component provides additional strength and durability.
Ancillary Special Features
This universal joint for a subsea application was outfitted with wire connectors for end-to-end electrical conductivity. As an alternative to traditional lubrication, MoS2 surface coating was applied to reduce friction between component surfaces.
Unique Boot Solutions
Metal boot covers don’t collapse in high-vacuum applications and hold up well in extreme temperatures. Specialized polymers can reduce wear. Other materials may be specified or developed according to each unique application.
