Reliable joint systems set a high bar for quality in the industry, as they are top-quality products that check huge boxes for efficiency, performance, refinement, and functionality. These products are great examples of mechanical components that will enhance and support your production endeavors and operations.
CV joints and driveshafts manufactured by GKN Lobro are also suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. These products are ideal for steels mills, paper mills, dynamometers, marine propulsion, and anywhere else that true constant velocity power transmission is required. Clutch Engineering can provide dependable and long-lasting driveshafts for some of the most demanding industrial applications.
VL Joints (Plunging)
GKN Lobro VL constant velocity joints allow shaft angles up to 18°, and can plunge to allow for axial movement. VL plunging joints provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren’t equal.
Torque range: 427 to 29,502 lb-ft (580 to 40,000 Nm)
Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
UF Joints (Fixed)
GKN Lobro RF constant velocity joints allow shaft angles up to 40° and are fixed, providing no axial movement. Length compensation is possible through use of a splined shaft joining the fixed joints. RF fixed joints provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren’t equal.
Torque range: 427 to 7,744 lb-ft (580 to 10,500 Nm)
Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
