U-joint

The SKF Heavy Duty Truck Universal U-Joints are engineered for maximum operating life. The labyrinth sealing system is constructed in metal, rubber and Nylatron (a reinforced nylon material) which extends the life of the universal joint by providing maximum grease retention and dirt exclusion. The one way check valve in each trunnion controls lubrication flow and prevents dry start-up.

Cap needle bearings are heat treated and have spherical ends to adjust for load variations. The cap leading edge is set at a six degree angle for ease of installation. Each cup contains an intregal thrust pad positioned to absorb the various thrust and shock loads found in Heavy Duty applications. Intregal grease channels allow for 360 degree grease distribution at all times. Your application depends on the strength and durability of the universal joints and SKF U-Joints provide recognized high quality and long lasting features:

  • The cross body is a drop forged alloy body which ensures strength and durability.
  • Twin zerk fittings allow the mechanic easier access to the universal joint. 
  • Flanges are welded to case hardened cup for strength/durability and the back plate flanges are coined for controlled lock-up.
