The Advantages of Moog Universal Joints for Your Vehicle in 2024 Universal joints, often referred to as U-joints, are essential components in the driveline of many vehicles, connecting the transmission or transfer case to the differential. These crucial parts allow for the smooth transfer of rotational power while accommodating the angular misalignment between the input […]

Mechanical power transmission couplings are broken down into 3 sections, Uni joints, Elastomeric and Beam type couplings. Uni joints are the most flexible and offer high torque but low speed, Elastomeric couplings can do high speed and high torque but low angle of misalignment. Beam and bellows coupling at high speed high torque but low angle of misalignment.
Twin Spring Coupling offers the best of everything, flexible to 45°, high torque (6000 in lbs.) and capable of 7000 RPM.
A one piece design replaces these other couplings with all their different components.

Coupling bearing contaminants – Water, mud, dirt and dust contaminants are one of the many ways that bring uni joints to a halt. Rubber boots, constant greasing and inspections are the usual way used to keep the coupling bearing inside couplings working. That’s part of the ROI but what about the annual cost that adds […]

Bearing Failure in Uni joints, there are only a few option available. The universal joint is one of these fundamental shaft coupling solutions, it’s been used for the past 115 years in the automotive industry and longer in other areas like Industrial and farming. The three-piece design while simple, has always had to been maintained […]

The true cost of universal joints are not so simple, a low initial price but with ongoing maintenance means it becomes a lot more expensive Lets face it, its an old technology, 115 years old to be exact, the first use of the word by inventor Robert Hooke in 1676 shows the coupling is far […]

Power transmission couplings – Universal Joints, jaw type couplings, beam couplings, bellows couplings and elastomeric couplings all suffer from the same design flaws. We have always used them, they are the only things we use, we just accept the annual maintenance cost and failure rate. A common story from manufacturers and distributors, the power transmission […]
