Vehicular Geared Universal Joint

A Vehicular Geared Universal Joint is a component used in the power transmission system of vehicles. It is 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 power between two shafts that are not in a straight line. It consists of a cross-shaped or H-shaped yoke with bearings at each end, connected to two shafts. The yoke allows for the transfer of torque and rotation between the shafts, even if they are at different angles.

In the case of a Vehicular Geared Universal Joint, it includes additional gearing mechanisms to provide speed reduction or increase between the input and output shafts. This allows for the optimization of power transmission in vehicles, especially in situations where the engine and the wheels are not directly aligned.

Overall, Vehicular Geared Universal Joints are essential components in the power transmission system of vehicles, enabling efficient and reliable transfer of power between different shafts, even when they are not in a straight line.
