Vehicular Universal Joint Companion Flange

Vehicular Universal Joint Companion Flanges are components used in the power transmission system of vehicles. They are part of the supply class Vehicular Power Transmission Components, which falls under the supply group Vehicular Equipment Components.

A universal joint, also known as a U-joint, is a mechanical joint that allows for the transmission of torque between two shafts that are not in a straight line with each other. It is commonly used in vehicles to transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing for smooth and efficient power transfer even when the shafts are at different angles.

The companion flange is a component that connects the universal joint to the shafts it is transmitting power between. It is typically a circular flange with bolt holes that align with corresponding holes on the universal joint and the shafts. The companion flange ensures a secure and rigid connection, allowing for reliable power transmission.

In summary, Vehicular Universal Joint Companion Flanges are important components in the power transmission system of vehicles. They are part of the Vehicular Power Transmission Components supply class and the Vehicular Equipment Components supply group.
