Stainless Steel Cardan Cross Shaft Universal Joint Coupling – Single, Double & Telescopic

Factory direct | 42CrMo or SUS304 stainless steel | Torque 4.5–1500 N·m | Operating angle up to 90° | OEM/ODM/OBM custom

The Apexcoupling Cardan Cross Shaft Universal Joint Coupling is a high‑precision power transmission component designed for demanding industrial applications. Available in single, double, and telescopic configurations, and constructed from 42CrMo alloy steel or SUS304 stainless steel, this coupling delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. It accommodates angular misalignment, parallel offset, and axial displacement – making it the ideal solution for machinery repair shops, manufacturing plants, construction equipment, and food & beverage processing.

✅ Custom bores available: keyway, hexagon hole, square hole.

Key Technical Specifications

🔧 Custom bores (keyway, hexagon, square), lengths, materials, and operating angles available. Contact us with your specifications.

Product Configurations

💡 Telescopic universal joints are used when two shafts that need connecting are positioned too far apart for a standard universal joint.

Product Features & Advantages

Product Structure

1. Two Yokes (Forks) – Precision‑machined from 42CrMo or SUS304 stainless steel.

2. Cross Shaft (Cardan Cross) – The central cross‑shaped component that transmits torque.

3. Pin or Bearing Connection – Secure fixing method for reliable operation.

4. Telescopic Spline (optional) – Allows axial length adjustment.

Why Choose Apex Coupling for Cardan Universal Joints?

FAQ

Q: What is a cardan cross shaft universal joint?
A: It is a flexible coupling that uses a cross‑shaped central component (cardan cross) to transmit torque between two shafts that are not perfectly aligned. It accommodates angular misalignment and, in double or telescopic configurations, parallel offset and axial displacement.

Q: What is the difference between single, double, and telescopic?
A: Single joint – angular misalignment only. Double joint – angular + parallel offset. Telescopic – angular + axial length adjustment (for variable shaft spacing).

Q: What materials are available?
A: Standard is 42CrMo alloy steel for high strength and durability. We also offer SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion‑resistant applications (food, medical, marine).

Q: What is the maximum operating angle?
A: Standard single joint operates up to 45°. Double joint configurations can achieve up to 90°.

Q: What torque range is available?
A: The series covers 4.5 – 1500 N·m. Custom sizes for higher torque are available on request.

Q: What bore types can I get?
A: We offer keyway, hexagon hole, and square hole – in addition to standard round bores. Custom bores accepted.

Q: Is this coupling suitable for food processing?
A: Yes – with SUS304 stainless steel construction, it is corrosion‑resistant and suitable for food & beverage applications.

Q: Can I get a telescopic version with a specific stroke length?
A: Yes. We offer custom telescopic designs with your required stroke length. Please provide your specifications.
