A New U-joint (Video)

CCTY Bearing Company

Universal joints have remained virtually unchanged for a century. The new approach from CCTY Bearing Company simplifies the design by replacing many central components with one – a square ball.

The Square Ball Universal JointTM uses just eight components that allow the overall design to have:

  • Low starting & operational torque
  • A static seal that covers all moving parts and 10 mL of grease that prevent ingress of containments
  • Bind-free design
  • Backwards compatibility
  • IP-68 rated seal that is ozone resistant
  • Hold 20x more grease than conventional u-joints
  • Fully scalable design based on intermittent application needs
