Universal Joints & Driveshafts For Industrial/Earthmoving & Automobile Applications

Dana World Trade, USA, offers a range of Dana Spicer Universal Joints and Driveshafts for industrial, earthmoving and automobile applications. The basic function of a driveshaft is to transmit power from one point to another in a smooth and continuous action. In automobiles, trucks and construction equipment, the drivetrain is designed to send torque through an angle from the transmission to the axle (or auxiliary transmission). The driveshaft must operate through constantly changing relative angles between the transmission and axle. It must also be capable of changing length while transmitting torque. The driveshaft is able to contract, expand and change operating angles when going over bumps or depressions. This is accomplished through universal joints which permit the driveshaft to operate at various angles, and slip joints, which permit contraction or expansion to take place. Forged steel and high strength cast yokes, including Spicer Quick Disconnect end yoke for heavy duty vehicles are used to provide the necessary rigidity required to maintain bearing alignment under torque loads. Spicer heavyduty U-joint kits are designed to give extended driveshaft life. Spicer universal joints and crosses are used in earthmoving equipments like BEML LW35 dumpers, etc. Spicer U-joints are used in automobiles like passenger cars, and heavy duty trucks. Dana also has equivalent universal joint kits to various makes like AEC, precision, torque, etc. Besides these, Spicer also offers a wide range of axles, clutches and transmissions, UJ kits/J&B kits/crosses. Dana also offers a range of other hydraulic components and spares for earthmoving equipments like Chelsea power take-offs, Tyrone pumps and motors, Hyco cylinders, Gresen valves and filters, Weatherhead hoses, Victor seals and O-rings.
