Universal joints for harsh environments

Belden's standard stainless steel universal joints have AISI 303 stainless steel yokes and AISI 416 steel pins and blocks to provide higher strength and improved wear resistance.
Harsh environments call for corrosion-resistant materials. Some environments, for example in marine or underwater applications, require machines and components with an exceptionally high resistance to corrosive elements. Belden's standard stainless steel universal joints have AISI 303 stainless steel yokes and AISI 416 steel pins and blocks to provide higher strength and improved wear resistance.

Standard single joints can be modified with a variety of stainless steel grades, including 304, 316, 17-4 and 15-5, to meet specific applications' requirements.

Diameters range from 13 mm to 153 mm with a standard operating angle of 35 degrees.

From underwater oil field equipment to drinking water conveying systems and food processing applications, Belden's universal joints and complete shaft assemblies are available in a variety of stainless steel grades and with various hub configurations, lubricants and additional protective measures, such as boots, for use in a wide range of applications in even the most corrosive environments.
