A universal joint, (universal coupling, U-joint, Cardan joint, Hardy-Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint) is a joint or coupling in a rigid rod that allows the rod to 'bend' in any direction, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90° to each other, connected by a cross shaft. The universal joint is not a constant velocity joint.
SWP universal coupling/joint is mainly used in rolling milll,hoisting and other heavy machinery.
Features of SWP series cardan shaft:
1.Gyration diameter:160~640mm
2.Nominal torque:16~1250KN*m
3.Max angular misalignment: 10o
4.Reasonable configuration,high safety and long service life
5.High transmission efficiecy:98.6%
