The Universal Joint, part number 70 01 024, from ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. is designed for high-speed power transmission applications. It is suitable for use in scenarios where space is limited due to its compact design. The maximum working angle for this joint is 45 degrees, allowing for flexibility in installation. However, when operating at angles greater than 20 degrees, it is recommended to use low speeds to ensure optimal performance. The joint can handle speeds up to 2,000 rpm, while those equipped with needle bearings can operate at speeds up to 4,000 rpm, making it a versatile choice for various engineering projects.
Ball-and-socket joints
Ball-and-socket joints are very compact in their design and can be installed in cases where space is limited. Due to their sturdy design they are suitable for high-power transmissions. The maximum speed is dependent on the working angle and should not exceed 1000 rpm. The maximum working angle for single joints is 35°. With angles greater than 15° only low speeds should be used.
Cardan joints (DIN 808)
Universal joints (cardan joints) are particularly suited for high speed power transmission. The speed limit depends on the working angle. The maximum working angle for all types of joint is 45° (90° in the case of double-jointed cardan joints). Where angles of more than 20° (40°, respectively) are involved, only very low speeds should be used. Standard-design cardan joints can be used up to 2,000 rpm, joints equipped with needle bearings up to 4,000 rpm. Joints supported by needle bearings are usually only employed for speeds of more than 1,000 rpm.
