Why Choose Apex Coupling for Agricultural Universal Joints?

FAQ

Q: What is an agricultural universal joint shaft coupling?
A: It is a cross joint coupling designed for power transmission in agricultural machinery. It allows torque to be transmitted between shafts that are not perfectly aligned, with angular flexibility up to 45° per joint.

Q: What is the difference between single and double joint?
A: Single joint provides angular flexibility only (up to 45°). Double joint provides both angular flexibility and parallel offset capability, with total articulation up to 90°.

Q: What is the recommended operating angle?
A: With the built‑in bearing and fixed pin, the coupling is designed for continuous operation up to 30°. The absolute limit per joint is 45°.

Q: What materials are available?
A: Standard is 42CrMo alloy steel for high strength and durability. We also offer 304 stainless steel for corrosion‑resistant applications.

Q: What surface finishes are available?
A: Standard is black oxide. We also offer nickel plated, galvanized, and polished finishes.

Q: Do you have stock available?
A: Yes, we have large stock of standard sizes for immediate shipment.

Q: Can I get a sample before ordering?
A: Yes. Samples are available – please contact us to arrange.

Q: What is the MOQ?
A: 1 piece – we welcome small orders for prototyping and testing.
