Cross Shaft

The automotive universal joint, also known as a cross joint, is a mechanism used to alter the direction of the drive shaft axis. It is commonly found in automobile drivetrain systems. The universal joint consists of active and passive components, along with the cross-shaped joint, allowing the driveshaft to rotate in any direction.

This Design Offers Several Advantages:

Increased flexibility of the driveshaft.
Reduced vibration and noise.
Ease of assembly.

When manufacturing universal joints, the following machining methods are typically employed:

Turning (Lathe): The central portion of the universal joint is processed using a lathe to ensure precision and smoothness.
Milling (Machining Center): Milling machines are used to shape the flat surfaces, grooves, and other features of the universal joint, achieving the desired accuracy.
Grinding (Surface Grinder): Grinding machines are utilized to grind the surfaces of the universal joint, achieving the required precision and smooth finish.
