Regarding quality
extremely pleased with Beldens products Belden
offers the best product for the least cost.
Regarding capabilities
We had a problem with the boots on the universal joint
assemblies from our previous supplier. Belden
engineers came here to meet with our engineers to
resolve the problem and redesign the parts. The boot
redesign was included on our assemblies within days.
We have had no problems since.
Regarding delivery
the delivery time has been reduced since I first
started doing business with Belden. Belden
prepared themselves by stocking many of our
frequently ordered parts.
Regarding delivery
Belden cut their delivery in half by planning for
our orders and stocking components in
anticipation of our next release.
Regarding capabilities
We now buy other components from Belden. A Belden
Sales Rep came to our facilities to look at how we were
operating our equipment. She took back part samples
back to your [Beldens] engineering department. They
suggested some changes and offered to make the parts
for less than we were getting them before. Were
getting a superior assembly thats cost effective.

Double Universal Joints
High-grade alloy steel
A high-quality Belden double universal joint provides the same reliability and service life as
the Belden single universal joint with a maximum working angle of 70. Double universal
joints provide accurate positioning and flexible action under difficult operating angles.
Uniform speed ratio between driving and
driven shafts
With Belden double universal joints, higher torque can be transmitted at greater angles
than with conventional flexible couplings where parallel misalignment occurs. Belden
double universal joints are available in the same wide variety of materials and finishes as
the single universal joint. Lubricant retaining flexible boots are recommended for operation
in corrosive environments. See page 8 for hub configurations available.

Butted Double Universal Joints
Custom Double Joints
Uniform speed ratio between driving and

driven shafts
Belden design engineers can specify a universal joint assembly to meet most unique
requirements. In addition to the high-quality alloy steel standard of Belden universal joints,
assemblies made from alternate materials with a wide selection of end hubs and finishes
are available. Beldens capabilities allow us to provide a precise, reliable, and durable
universal joint suited for many applications in most environments.
Low vibration at high rpm

Quick-change feature available
The applications for Belden custom double universal joints are endless, and limited
only by the imagination, because they are found in everything from aircraft to packaging
machinery.
End Hub Configurations
The majority of Belden's universal joints are custom designed and manufactured, therefore,
a wide variety of end hub configurations are offered. The five conventional hub types, in
either male or female, are available in metric or inch sizes. Solid hubs are also available.
Straight Bore
Keyway
Hexagonal
Square
Threaded
Spline
Intermediate Connecting Shaft

The center connector member may be fixed or have limited axial freedom, either springloaded (as in quick-change joints) or free. The center connector must be specified to suit
individual needs. In spring-loaded applications, ends may be hex, square, spline,
Woodruff key or specialized design requirements.
Custom Double Joints
Wide choice of hub types available
A quick-change feature is available on our custom double universal joint, which allows
the universal joint to be quickly removed and replaced without tools. This is an important
feature when machine downtime is crucial. The quick-change universal joint consists of
two back-to-back single universal joints connected with a spring loaded intermediate
shaft. Pinning of outer yokes is not required because the spring tension on the
intermediate shaft holds the quick-change universal joint secure at each end.
Custom designed to meet customer

specifications

required for each customers application.
Many of Belden's custom made products go through several design changes before a
final design is approved. Belden can eliminate the time and sample cost by providing
rapid prototype service. Your 3-D digital concepts can be converted to physical
concept models in less than a day. Your concept models can achieve unprecedented
levels of idea transfer during progress meetings.
Unique non-toxic base materials can be infused with wax to allow for investment
casting or with resins to generate sturdy concept models.

If the universal joint assembly is going to operate in an atmosphere that is polluted with
chips, dirt, acids and/or other abrasives, it is highly recommended that flexible boots be
specified on the original assembly. These boots play an important role in protecting the
joint and keeping it fully lubricated. Proper lubrication will prolong the useful life of an
assembly by a factor of as much as five.

Steel Processing Product Focus
Steel Leveling/Straightening
Special high strength material and

design features
Belden supplies high strength universal joints to many manufacturers of varied steel
processing equipment, including sheet steel leveling and straightening machines. Belden
has answered the demands of this industry by providing specially designed universal joints
to handle the greater torque conditions of this application.
Greater torque capacity

Precision manufactured to meet highest
industry standards
20
Beldens special leveling universal joint starts as high strength alloy steel. Next, Belden
engineers enlarged the profile on the connecting end of the universal joint, which
dramatically increased the strength of the universal joint. This allows our leveling universal
joint to greatly exceed the torque capacity of standard universal joints.
Beldens professional team worked with machine builders to create a better universal joint
for the steel processing industry.
Steel Processing Product Focus
Rollforming
Greater torque capacity through design

enhancements
Beldens universal joints have also proven successful in the steel processing specialty of
rollforming. Beldens special rollforming universal joint is similar in design to our high
strength leveling universal joint, for it handles the tough conditions of the machinery used
in rollforming. The rollforming universal joint also out performs other universal joint
manufacturers products in such conditions.
Cost savings by using improved

universal joint
As on our leveling universal joint, Belden has expanded the torque capacity of the universal
joint by making design changes to the profile of the universal joint and upgrading the
material. The basic function of the universal joint remains the same, but the mechanical
properties are augmented. Engineering advantage and cost savings will be realized if you
choose Beldens rollforming universal joint for your rollforming original equipment.
Machine Tool Product Focus
Screw Machines
Operation at high RPM
Beldens universal joints are found in many types of machine tools, because the function
of the universal joint makes it an integral component of machine design. The design of

OEM Product Focus
Medical Equipment
Ready to install assemblies available
OEMs typically challenge Belden with the following criteria: provide quality universal
joints on a narrow, pre-determined schedule at a cost within their budget restrictions.
MRI manufacturers added specifications particular to their industry: a finished, ready to
install, surface corrosion resistant universal joint assembly that could handle a large
angle of operation.
Choice of finishes for corrosion resistance

Stocking program convenience
22
Beldens team of professionals worked with the OEM, and responded to their terms with
a double universal joint assembly complete with shafting and a corrosion resistant finish.
The double universal joint assembly allowed for the large angle of operation and the surface
was black oxided to insure resistance to surface corrosion. Belden also provided the
shafting, so that the product was ready to install, meeting all the customers specifications.
Industrial Equipment Focus
Electronics
Design assistance available
Belden universal joints can handle the harshest environments and the application within
the electronics field is proof. A manufacturer of circuit boards included in their machine
design a universal joint to be cyclically dipped into 600 degrees F molten solder, and
they came to Belden for assistance.
Complete assemblies able to withstand

high temperatures
23
The Belden team answered their challenge by proposing a stainless steel and silicone
booted universal joint. Both the materials of stainless steel and silicone operate under
the high temperatures and corrosive conditions. The boot also prolonged the operating
life of the universal joint. Beldens material suggestions proved to prevail over the harsh
environment, and today, Belden still enjoys being their singular universal joint supplier.
OEM Product Focus
Aerospace
Tested to exceed customer quality

standards
The world's manufacturers rely on Belden's universal joints for their most intricate power
transmitting functions. Beldens capabilities bring even the most difficult universal joint
applications within reach, as in the case of an aerospace companys request for a
universal joint that was to be installed as a bleed valve actuator on a 737 jet engine.
Capable control of exotic specifications
The customers specifications called for the material to be a specialty alloy, and also
included a special heat treat and separate plating process. Our customer met with
Beldens manufacturing professionals to first hand communicate their requirements and to
inspect our manufacturing facility and processes. Belden delivered the parts on time and
completely per customers specifications proving that Beldens team approach and
knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes suits all universal joint applications.

Belden couplings are designed

to satisfy your most difficult
engineering challenges. Belden
offers couplings that are
custom finished to meet all your
Couplings
special requirements.
Belden couplings allow for motion

control, absorb shock, and
handle a variety of misalignment
and operating conditions. We offer
coupling solutions for all power
transmitting or motion control
functions.
Slit Flex Style: b series
Belden Incorporated: Coupling Division
Zero backlash
The B series of couplings has a cut pattern consisting of two sets of two cuts. Each set of
cuts has two beams that overlap each other, much like a thread that has multiple starts.
These beams are slightly shorter in rotational length than those of the C series. This gives
the coupling higher torsional stiffness (lower windup) for greater accuracy. In general,
these beams are thicker than those in a C series coupling of an equal outside diameter,
this gives the coupling greater torque capacity. Due to the thicker beams and the shorter
length these couplings sacrifice some flexibility to obtain the greater performance.

Slit Flex Style: c series
Zero backlash
The C series of couplings has a cut pattern consisting of two sets of one cut. These beams
are longer in rotation and generally not as wide as the B series. These couplings are lighter
duty than the B series, and have more windup. The advantage of these couplings is their
great flexibility, which results in very low bearing loads. Low bearing loads are essential for
the delicate instruments these couplings are designed to be used with.

Oldham Couplings
Tolerant of pronounced radial misalignment
A robust, three part coupler rated for intermittent operation, the Belden Oldham coupling
has zero backlash, high torsional stiffness and offers easy connection of drivers in blind or
difficult installations. The Oldham coupling is widely used for motion control, typically in
positioning tables, fluid delivery systems, and similar applications.
Electrically isolating
Flex-free mechanical action-low
bearing loads
28
A key feature of the Oldham concept is the exceptional, flex-free, radial misalignment
capability it provides. As there are no restoring forces, bearing loads are low. Its operation
should not be confused with the jaw coupler which works on different principles.

Soft Flex Coupling:
Good torque shock absorption
Soft Flex Couplings are three piece couplings consisting of two zinc alloy hubs and a soft
plastic multi-tooth sleeve. With each of the two hubs mounted with set screws onto to the
driver shaft and the other to the driven shaft, the soft plastic transmits torque across the
hubs through sheer connection. The sheer connection compensates for angular and
parallel shaft misalignment providing protection from vibration and shock loads, and
provides electrical insulation. These couplings are easy to install and maintenance free.

Terminology
Belden Incorporated
Universal Joint
A mechanical device that can transmit torque and/or rotary motion from one shaft to
another at fixed or varying angles of intersection of the shafts axis.
Pin and Block Universal Joint
Also know as the Cardan or Hooke joint, the pin and block is the simplest unit
available. It allows for a more positive transmission of rotating power or torque than
conventional flexible couplings.
Cross and Bearing Universal Joint
A forged cross with a needle bearing connection provides minimal backlash and
precise positioning without compromising torque capacity.
Needle Bearing Universal Joint
Needle bearings are installed at the pin ends to reduce backlash and increase
precision and RPM capability.
Torque
Torque is the force that causes rotation. Operating torque is the amount of torque
that is transmitted during normal operation. Torque is commonly expressed in poundinches (lb-in), pound-feet (lb-ft), or Newton-meters (Nm).
Multiply pound-inch (lb-in) x .112985 for Newton-meters (Nm).
Multiply pound-feet (lb-ft) x 1.35582 for Newton-meters (Nm).
Torque can be calculated using the following formula:
Torque (lb-in) = Horsepower (h.p.) x 63024
rpm
Axial Misalignment
Axial misalignment is the amount of axial movement (end play) between the shafts,
which is typically caused by motor vibration. Axial misalignment is measured in
length units.

Offset
Parallel Offset
Parallel offset is the parallel distance between shafts, and is measured in length units.
Torsional Stiffness
Torsional stiffness is the degree of resistance against twist. It is commonly expressed

in pound-inch/radian (lbin/rad) or Newton-meter/radian (Nm/rad).
Multiply pound-inch/radian (lbin/rad) x 6.47357 for
Newton-meter/radian (Nm/rad).
Multiply pound-inch/degree (lbin/deg) x .01745 for
pound-inch/radian (lbin/rad).
Angular Misalignment
Angular misalignment is the angle at which the shafts intersect. It is commonly

expressed in degrees.
Zero Backlash Zero
Zero backlash refers to the amount of side to side play within a coupling assembly.
Duty Cycle
The load on a universal joint is either intermittent or continuous. Under most

operating conditions, a joints intermittent load capacity is greater than its continuous
load capacity.
