AS9100
Belden Universal has achieved AS9100D Certification for manufacturing products in compliance with the highest global quality system for providing safe and reliable products to the Aircraft, Space and Defense (AS&D) industry. Our AS9100 universal joints are used throughout the aerospace industry.
Materials
Materials and special coatings can be used to manufacture u-joints to achieve high strength-to-weight ratio. Universal joints as well as telescopic driveshafts can be configured to provide resistance to extreme corrosive environments by using precipitation hardened stainless steels 17-4 / 15-5 PH, cadmium, zinc or zinc-nickel plated alloy steel, aluminum, aircraft grade alloys and marine grade 316 and 316L stainless steel.
Digitzed Inspection Records
For easier maintenance of data, Belden employs a paperless inspection system. As opposed to traditional paper records where the operator manually checks off inspection and tool requirements, the software automates, simplifies and speeds up procedures and allows all members of the production team to view live data at any time. Our QMS software specifies what features to measure, the proper tools for measuring, and the inspection specifications for the various features.
