Product Structure
Integral Forged Fork Head – One-piece forged construction without bolt connections – eliminates the weak point found in welded or bolted designs, dramatically improving reliability and service life.
Cross Shaft Bearing Bores – Precision-machined bearing holes (55×128mm) for accurate cross shaft fit and extended bearing life.
Flange Mounting Surface – Precision-ground flange face with 8×M13 bolt holes on 130mm PCD for secure flange connection.
40Cr Alloy Steel – High-strength material with quenched & tempered heat treatment (HB250-300) for superior wear resistance and fatigue strength.
💡 How it works: The SWC150 flange yoke serves as the critical connection point between the cardan shaft cross shaft and the driven equipment flange. The integral forged design transfers torque from the cross shaft through the fork arms to the flange mounting face. The 40Cr material with quenched & tempered heat treatment provides the strength to withstand heavy shock loads, while the precision-machined bearing bores ensure smooth rotation and long service life. The 8×M13 bolt pattern securely mounts the yoke to mating flanges in mining, metallurgical, and heavy industrial drive systems.
Forged Integral vs Welded/Bolted – Why Choose Forged?
| Feature | Forged Integral (SWC150) | Welded / Bolted Design |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | One-piece forged – no joints | Multi-piece – welded or bolted |
| Bolt failure risk | None – eliminates bolt connections | High – bolts can loosen or break |
| Structural integrity | Superior – uniform grain structure | Moderate – stress at weld/joints |
| Fatigue resistance | Excellent – no stress concentration | Lower – weld/bolt stress risers |
| Service life | 30-50% longer than bolted designs | Standard |
| Maintenance | Minimal – no bolt inspection required | Frequent – bolt inspection and re-torquing |
| Reliability | High – no weak links | Moderate – bolt failure is common |
| Best for | Heavy-duty, high-torque, high-reliability applications | Standard applications |
✅ Choose forged integral (SWC150) for applications requiring maximum reliability, long service life, and minimal maintenance – ideal for mining, metallurgy, steel mills, and heavy industrial drives.

FAQ
Q: What is a flange yoke (fork head)?
A: A flange yoke (also called a fork head or flange fork) is the critical component of a cardan shaft that connects the cross shaft to the driven equipment flange. It transmits torque from the universal joint through the flange mounting bolts.
Q: What is the advantage of forged integral construction?
A: Forged integral construction eliminates bolt connections, which are the most common failure point in traditional universal joints. This results in 30-50% longer service life and superior reliability.
Q: What material is used for the SWC150 flange yoke?
A: The SWC150 flange yoke is manufactured from 40Cr alloy steel with quenched & tempered heat treatment to HB250-300 hardness. 42CrMo is also available for higher performance requirements.
Q: What are the dimensions of the SWC150 flange yoke?
A: Cross shaft bearing: 55×128mm, flange diameter: Φ150mm, 8×Φ13mm bolt holes on 130mm PCD.
Q: Is this a direct replacement for SWC150 cardan shafts?
A: Yes. The SWC150 flange yoke is manufactured to SWC series standards and is a direct replacement for SWC150 cardan shaft flange yokes.
Q: Does the yoke require lubrication?
A: The yoke itself does not require lubrication, but the cross shaft bearings installed in the yoke bores do. Grease fittings are available on complete SWC150 assemblies.
Q: Can I get a custom flange yoke?
A: Yes. We offer OEM customization – custom sizes, materials (42CrMo, 35CrMo, etc.), keyways, and surface finishes.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Stock items ship immediately. Custom orders typically require 7-15 days.
Q: What are the common applications?
A: Mining equipment, metallurgical machinery, rolling mills, steel mills, conveyors, cranes, paper machinery, and heavy industrial drives.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: 1 Year – quality assured.
