Product Description
UNCA/UNCW Universal Joint Coupling – Pin & Snap Ring Type | Single or Double Joint
Factory automation standard | 42CrMo alloy steel | H7 precision bore | Up to 40° angle per joint
The UNCA (single) and UNCW (double) series are precision universal joint couplings with pin and snap ring design. They are ideal for FA factory automation, offering high torque transmission, large angular compensation, and low maintenance.
✅ Also available as CSCA/CSCW universal joint series – same high quality, different naming.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between UNCA and UNCW?
A: UNCA is a single joint (one cross shaft) – for angular misalignment up to 40°. UNCW is a double joint (two cross shafts with a center yoke) – allows angular plus parallel offset, smoother motion.
Q: What is the maximum working angle?
A: For single joint, 40° within normal use. The absolute limit per joint is 45°.
Q: Can I get a 304 stainless steel version?
A: Yes. We offer 304 stainless steel for corrosion‑resistant applications (food, medical, marine). Lead time may be slightly longer.
Q: What surface finishes are available?
A: Standard is black oxide. Also available: nickel plated, zinc plated, or polished (bright finish).
Q: Is there any backlash?
A: The UNCA/UNCW series has very low backlash due to precision‑machined cross shaft and needle bearings. For absolute zero‑backlash applications, we recommend our rigid couplings.
Q: Do you stock standard sizes?
A: Yes. UNCA, UNCW, CSCA, CSCW are standard FA automation series with high inventory.
