Design Features Wing Bearing 2C - 15C Thrust Bearings – Each cap has a 30% glass filled nylon compound thrust bearing to prevent steelon-steel contact of trunnions to minimize friction and prevent galling under heavy loads. Glass-filled nylon bearings automatically adjust themselves to compensate for minor deflections. Accurately-Guided Roller Bearings – A standard and exclusive feature. Cage prevents skewing by holding each roller parallel to the axis of the trunnion. Each roller thus carries its full share of the bearing load. Permanent Grease Feature – Proven successful over years of service...

Custom Slip Design Ameridrives offers a wide array of custom slip designs to fit your unique needs and long travel applications. Long travel slip assemblies are made possible by the inverted spline allowing extended slip lengths far beyond the limits of other designs. Our patented Inter-Sealed® design is the most versatile with options of having a self-lubricating coating on the splines to reduce axial loads and prevent premature wear. A positive full contact seal ensures that the grease remains inside and the contaminants remain out. For more information regarding custom slip lengths please...

Selection Information Speed Limits I. Speed Limit Based on Limits of Mass Acceleration When universal joints are operated at any angle greater than zero, the center section of the universal joint always runs irregularly, being accelerated and decelerated twice in every revolution. The maximum values of mass acceleration torque arising here are dependent on the operating speed and angle of deviation ß and upon the moment of inertia of the center shaft section [ RPM x A ]. ensure smooth running of the universal joint, the To mass acceleration torque must not be allowed to exceed the limits shown...

Selection Procedure See page 30 for Application Data sheets for easy selection. Types of torque ratings are given for each joint size. Endurance torque (Tdw) is the normal rating for fully reversing torque based on material strength. Bearing Life torque (BL) is the bearing life rating of the universal joint. This torque is based on the B-10 life of the universal joint bearings. The life torque values listed are based on 5000 hours B-10 bearing life at 3° misalignment and 100 RPM. B-10 life is defined as the minimum life expectancy for a 90% probability of survival. Typically the average actual...
