Constant velocity driveshafts are efficient solutions to many driveshaft related challenges. They provide true constant velocity of the input, intermediate, and output shafts, creating a more ideal mechanical system. CV driveshafts aren’t prone to the angular accelerations or vibrations that can be generated by cardan driveshafts. Contact our team for more information about our advanced driveshaft solutions. We are prepared to provide you with ideal constant velocity driveshaft solutions to meet your budget and machinery requirements.
Constant Velocity Joints
These joints, offered by Clutch Engineering, undergo no change in velocity or acceleration. This means that they smoothly transmit torque, even when joint angles are not equal. Con-vel constant velocity joints provide true constant velocity, which is useful in many shaft systems. The Con-vel constant velocity joint is available in a disc design for stationary industrial applications. The connecting of two rotating shafts, of almost any design, can be achieved by selecting a coupling from the wide range of Con-vel joints available. Torque range: 169 to 4,725 lb-ft (230 to 6,410 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
UF Joints (Fixed)
Clutch Engineering offers GKN Lobro RF high quality constant velocity joints for use in steel mills, paper mills, and other industrial environments. These well-made parts allow shaft angles of up to 40° for various industrial and mechanical applications. These joints are fixed, providing no axial movement. Length compensation is also possible through use of a splined shaft joining each of the fixed joints. RF fixed joints are able to provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren't equal. GKN Driveline considers the positive impact that a product can have on a vehicle's dynamic performance and efficiency when designing parts and components, leading to highly-reliable products. Torque range: 427 to 7,744 lb-ft (580 to 10,500 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
VL Joints (Plunging)
Clutch Engineering offers GKN Lobro VL constant velocity joints that can be used in a variety of industrial machinery and marine propulsion applications. Their designs allows for shaft angles of up to 18°, and they can also plunge to allow for axial movement. An important benefit of VL plunging joints is that they are able to provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren't equal. This increases your options for taking advantage of constant angular velocity in a wider variety of situations. GKN Driveline supplies the worldwide automotive aftermarket and other industries, including manufacturing and marine industries. Torque range: 427 to 29,502 lb-ft (580 to 40,000 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
