The universal joint is an important part of the automobile power transmission system. From the perspective of automobile structure, for front-wheel drive vehicles the drive shaft uses a constant velocity universal joint, and for rear-wheel drive vehicles, its drive shaft uses two unequal velocity universal joints. General private car owners are very unfamiliar with the lubrication and maintenance of cross-shaft of universal joint. We tell you that it is important to lubricate universal joint regularly.

The structure and function of universal joints are a bit like joints on human limbs, which allow the angle between connected parts to vary within a certain range. A universal joint is a positive, mechanical connection between rotating shafts, which are usually not parallel, but intersecting. Universal joints are used to transmit motion and power. Single universal joint consists of two yokes, one on each shaft, connected by a cross-shaped intermediate member called the spider. The angle between the two shafts is called the operating angle.

A universal joint is a mechanical device that allows one or more rotating shafts to be linked together, allowing the transmission of torque or rotary motion. Universal joint also allows for transmission of power between two points that are not in line with each other. As universal joint is the core of the machine, how can we fix or even replace universal joint? Can we do it by ourselves when universal joint goes wrong?

A universal joint is a mechanical device that allows one or more rotating shafts to be linked together, allowing the transmission of torque or rotary motion. Universal joint also allows for transmission of power between two points that are not in line with each other. Universal joints come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and configurations to accommodate the infinite types of applications. You should always consult a professional before selecting a universal joint.
