Driveshaft universal joint (universal joint)
Universal joints (Cardan joints) are successfully employed in the steelmaking industry for applications such as:
- Steel Production
- Continuous Casting、
- Cold and Hot Rolling Processes
Furthermore, they are extensively used in the drive systems of precision machinery, rolling mills, and other equipment in the non-ferrous metals industry, as well as in the following sectors:
- Machine Tool Manufacturing
- Metalworking Equipment
- Heavy Equipment Manufacturing
- Mining Equipment
- Chemical Equipment
- Oil and Gas Equipment
Our products demonstrate high reliability and efficiency across all these applications.
Key Features and Advantages:
- High-precision torque transmission — ensures smooth and coordinated mechanism operation.
- Constant angular velocity — eliminates vibrations and shock in the drive system.
- Stability and smooth operation — maintained even under high loads and rapid speed changes.
- Durability and wear resistance — achieved through high-quality materials and precision assembly.
- An efficient alternative to universal joint crosses — ideal for applications demanding precision and speed stability, where the performance of cross-type joints is limited.
Industry Application
Metallurgy – Proven Applications
n the extreme conditions of the metallurgical industry—characterized by high temperatures, heavy loads, and significant dust—our universal joints have demonstrated exceptional reliability.
Rolling Mill Equipment Application: Roll drive coupling.
The Challenge: During roll gap adjustment, the rolls move vertically, creating a significant angular misalignment with the drive shaft.
Our Solution: Our Cardan joints smoothly transmit immense torque even at high operating angles. This ensures a stable rolling process for steel plates and strips, guaranteeing consistent, high-quality surface finish.
Continuous Casting Machine
Drive rolls within the segment.
The Challenge: During the guiding and bending of red-hot steel strands, the drive shafts must simultaneously transmit power and accommodate specific misalignments.
Our Solution: Our ball-type universal joints ensure smooth transmission of rotational energy, minimizing stress on the brittle shell of the solidifying strand. This is crucial for enhancing the quality of the final cast product.
Steel Rolling Press and Set-Up Equipment
Drive system of the feed mechanism.
The Challenge: The transmission system in this reciprocating motion equipment is subject to alignment inaccuracies.
Our Solution: The universal joint compensates for these misalignments, ensuring smooth power transmission. This results in reduced mechanical wear and minimizes unplanned downtime.
