Nonvehicular Universal Joint Yoke

Nonvehicular Universal Joint Yokes are components used in mechanical power transmission systems, specifically in torque converters and speed changers. They belong to the supply class Torque Converters And Speed Changers and the supply group Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.

A universal joint yoke is a mechanical coupling that allows for the transmission of torque between two shafts that are not in a straight line or are at an angle to each other. It consists of a yoke, which is a fork-like component with two arms, and a cross-shaped universal joint that connects the arms of the yoke.

The yoke is typically made of a durable material such as steel and is designed to securely hold the universal joint in place. The universal joint, also known as a U-joint, consists of a cross-shaped body with needle bearings at each end. These bearings allow for smooth rotation and transfer of torque between the two shafts.

Nonvehicular universal joint yokes are commonly used in various industrial applications, such as power transmission systems in machinery, equipment, and vehicles. They are designed to withstand high levels of torque and provide reliable and efficient power transmission.

In summary, nonvehicular universal joint yokes are essential components in torque converters and speed changers, enabling the transmission of torque between non-aligned or angled shafts in mechanical power transmission systems.
