0017 Cross Shaft – Heavy-Duty Universal Joint Spider, 20Cr Steel, 48×116.4mm

Factory Direct | 20Cr Alloy Steel | 48×116.4mm | Precision-Ground | High Strength & Wear Resistance | Heavy-Duty Universal Joint Replacement | OEM Customizable

The Apexcoupling 0017 Cross Shaft is a high-precision heavy-duty universal joint spider designed for reliable power transmission in truck drive shafts, industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment. Manufactured from premium 20Cr alloy steel with precision grinding, this cross shaft delivers exceptional strength, durability, and wear resistance for demanding applications.

The cross shaft (also known as a universal joint spider or U-joint cross) is the central component of a universal joint, transmitting torque between the yokes while allowing angular misalignment. Featuring a 48mm diameter and 116.4mm length (excluding retaining rings), this cross shaft is precision-ground for accurate bearing fit and smooth rotation. With high-strength 20Cr steel construction and precision machining, the 0017 cross shaft ensures reliable performance and long service life in heavy-duty drive systems.

✅ Premium 20Cr alloy steel – high strength, excellent wear resistance. 48×116.4mm – precision-ground for accurate bearing fit. Heavy-duty construction – withstands high torque and shock loads. Precision-machined – smooth rotation, reduced vibration. OEM customization – custom dimensions and specifications available. ISO9001 certified manufacturing – quality assured.

0017 Cross Shaft – Detailed Specifications

Product Structure

1. Four Bearing Journals – Precision-ground surfaces (48mm) for smooth bearing fit and extended bearing life.

2. Heat-Treated Surface – Provides exceptional wear resistance and durability.

3. Tough Core – Maintains high impact resistance and toughness to withstand shock loads.

4. Precision Dimensions – 48×116.4mm for accurate fit in standard universal joint assemblies.

💡 How it works: The 0017 cross shaft serves as the central torque-transmitting component of a universal joint. The four bearing journals connect to the yoke bearings, allowing angular misalignment compensation while transmitting high torque with minimal power loss. The 20Cr material with precision heat treatment ensures the shaft withstands heavy shock loads and abrasive wear in demanding applications.
