What’s Inside Our Precision Universal Joint Catalog?

Our precision universal joint catalog provides everything you need to specify the right joint for your application:

• Complete G and GD Series Specifications: Detailed dimensional drawings, torque ratings, and angular capacity data for both single (G type) and double (GD type) universal joints.

• Material Options: Standard 42CrMo alloy steel construction with hardness up to HRC48-52, and pin bearings up to HRC56-58. Custom materials including SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steel are also available.

• Bore Configurations: H7 precision bores with keyways, hexagon holes, or custom designs to match your shaft requirements.

• Performance Data: Maximum speeds up to 4000 RPM with needle bearing options, and torque ratings from 11.2 to 1120 N.m (customizable for higher torque).

• Surface Treatments: Choices include natural finish, blackening, chrome plating, nickel plating, or sandblasting.

Why G and GD Series Universal Joints Are the Engineer’s Choice

The G and GD series universal joints featured in our precision universal joint catalog are engineered for demanding applications:

• Superior Materials: Constructed from high-strength 42CrMo alloy steel, with pin and block components heat-treated for exceptional durability. The result is a joint that withstands heavy loads and high speeds while maintaining precision.

• H7 Precision Bores: Each joint features H7 tolerance bores, ensuring minimal clearance and accurate shaft alignment. This reduces backlash, vibration, and wear for smoother operation and longer service life.

• Large Angle Compensation: Each joint section accommodates up to 45° of angular misalignment (30° recommended for continuous use), providing the flexibility needed for complex drive layouts.

• Versatile Configurations: Choose from pin-and-block construction for low-speed, high-torque applications (up to 1000 RPM) or needle bearing design for high-speed operation up to 4000 RPM.

Applications Across Industries

Our precision universal joint catalog covers joints suitable for a wide range of applications:
