Clutch Engineering offers a broad line of universal joints and driveshafts for use where there is a large misalignment between the driving and driven members. We offer high quality products from leading brands such as Dana Spicer, GKN Lobro, Belden, Ameridrives, Renold, Con-Vel, and Gelenkwellenwerk Stadtilm GmbH – GEWES. These designs include pin-and-block and needle bearing universal joints, lubricated for life and re-greaseable cardan driveshafts, and constant velocity (CV) driveshafts. Our premium selection of u-joints and driveshafts are designed for standard and specialized applications. To learn more about the variety of driveshafts available, please contact us directly.
Cardan driveshafts are able to handle large misalignments. By keeping both joint angles equal and aligning the yokes, contstant output velocity is achieved. Most driveshafts use a spline for length compensation, making installation easier.
Constant velocity driveshafts provide true constant velocity of the input, intermediate, and output shafts. CV driveshafts aren’t prone to the angular accelerations or vibrations that can be generated by cardan driveshafts.
Universal joints are able to transfer torque over a larger misalignment than other flexible couplings. Single joint, double joint, and telescoping shafts are available to fit your application.
