Constant Velocity Joints
Con-vel constant velocity joints provide true constant velocity. These driveshafts experience no change in velocity or acceleration, smoothly transmitting torque even when joint angles are unequal.
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)
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
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
